The hardest review I have ever had to write. But. I'm honest.
I even bought the guide.
What a waste.
This game does no require a guide. Unless you are a slave to the 360 point system. Or drunk. Or retarded.
First some history.
Look at my game collection.
Really.
Look at it.
I own a S#$T ton of games.
Definition. I am freaking old.
Fair enough and TOUCHE'.
But the truth is. I have played a TON of games.
I have never in my lifetime been so let down.
EVER.
Perhaps I would of loved this game if it was not for the the HYPE.
Trust me. I know the HYPE well.
This time. THE HYPE = A LIE.
Perhaps I am biased.
But to me PERFECT graphics does not equal perfect game play.
I am 28. I was entertained by CONTRA AND RIVER CITY RANSOM.
I know and understand what equates to a good game.
This game had so much potential.
Keyword....POTENTIAL.
DEAR UBISOFT...SEARCH "SQUANDERED".
I killed this game. Over 900 points in the 360 world.
ON MY FIRST PLAY THROUGH.
What did I do after the fact?
DELETE MEMORY. Because. I have no inclination of ever playing this game again.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
update....
I tried playing this game again. MASSIVE MISTAKE.
BORING. NO CHALLENGE and LAME.
IF YOU WANT A GOOD, SMART, SAND BOX GAME RENT GTA...SA...THIS GAME IS NOT IT. And this is from someone who played this game for over 30 hours, has over 20 years of gaming experience and is NOT blinded by GRAPHICS.
Let me help you by saying this. THIS. Is NOT a stealth game. This is an action/adventure game. If you are a fan of HITMAN...RUN AWAY...Imagine TOM CRUISE. BRAD PITT AND MS. JOLIE ON THE SILVER SCREEN FOR 4 STRAIGHT HOURS. iT MAY LOOK GOOD. But in the end. IT is as entertaining as WHALE S#$T.
