    If you like weapons, fire, and immersive real world environments you'll probably like this game.

The graphics are great and the environments amazing. However, it seems that this game is better played on a PC: a) with more memory the world doesn't need to load that often b) you can save whenever you want. From what I've gathered, these have been reported as drawbacks on consoles (not completely sure though, haven't tried myself).… Expand

    Alot of repitition. The AI isn't so great. Playing the game on hard just means the enemies respawn more often and it takes less bullets for you to die. Other than that, the depth of the game is great. Just remember to quicksave often or you will get very frustrated as the fights aren't that intuitive. The graphics are amazing as well.

The game has its little flaws like it had them on xbox 360 but damn, so little flaws for so many good things, I simply wish there were more games like this one.

The missions are all the same(boring) kill this guy here, intercept this convoy here, etc. It's like they tried to mix realism and arcade style and it really fails.

Unfortunately, the gimmick of this game, "Open world", is its death knell. Checkpoints on all the major intersections, plus frequent road patrols, detract from the fun of the game, and the massive size of the map leads to almost constant boredom when forced to travel to one side of the map and then back again. The missions are varied and very fun, the graphics are very tight and run far smoother than its cousin Crysis, and the AI is comprised of relative genius (taking cover when they hear a sniper rifle, and then jumping to another bit of cover immediately after your next shot). There are also many, many weapons to choose from, and each one feels different in its own respects. Great game, but be warned that it's no Call of Duty 4. This game takes work.… Expand

OnWhile the graphics are phenomenal and the lighting is superb, they still aren't as good as Crysis, so don't spend your money purely because it looks cool. Gameplay is awful. The map is huge, but you have to drive (or walk) everywhere you go, which takes a long time, not to mention that everyone you meet is hostile, even the civilians driving cars will get out to shoot at you. On your way to wherever it is you have to go you will run into 3 or 4 "guard posts" where 5 or 6 guys will shoot at you and get in their jeeps to follow you. Every time you want to go somewhere, be it for a mission or just for fun, you will run into this. The missions are incredibly repetitive and generally consist of "go here, blow this up/kill this guy , leave" But whatever you have to blow up/kill is generally guarded by 20 or 30 men. The trailers might lead you to believe that you can avoid these guys with stealth, but that isn't remotely true. Once you kill one person, even with a suppressed weapon, the entire camp knows exactly where you are and opens fire on you. Even through walls. This is around the point where your gun decides to jam or you get really sick with malaria (I forgot to mention, you get these malaria attacks throughout the game where your screen goes greenish and you have to take pills) which makes it very difficult to fight back. The game has a "buddy" system where you have friends that can help you out. Unfortunately buddy AI is somewhere between brain dead and retarded so they often get themselves critically injured. When your buddy is critically injured you have to either sacrifice a syrette (a syringe with magical healing potion) or shoot them (they never come back) which gets incredibly annoying, especially when you've used all your syrettes to heal after you were shot while unjamming your weapon. If you would like to fight during the night rather than the day you have to go out and find a "safe house" where you can sleep, which gets obnoxious when trying to plan a raid. And even though the gameplay is awful, maybe it would be worth it if the story was amazing, there is no story (well, there is, but it's really thin) the idea is you're in a country with 2 warring factions and they give you missions so you can get diamonds ($) so you can buy guns so you can do more missions. There's also this guys called the jackal who leaves tapes around so you can hear how sick and twisted he is, you're on a mission throughout the game to kill this guy and I figure at the end of the game you get to kill him, but I doubt I'll ever finish it because it's miserable to play.… Expand
