Not many games make you laugh out loud.
although many have criticized the "grainy" appearance, i really like the desturated and gritty feel of the environments. great lighting effect and character rendering, BTW. this game is no cakewalk on higher difficulties. a couple areas actually get frustrating. for example, at one point heavily armed ships shell the heck out of buildings, destroying your cover right before your eyes.
another thing that really stood out was the truly amazing sound. so ambient, directional and layered - amazing! crank it up, it really adds to the experience of pulling the trigger. oh, and the opening credits song - The jazz/organ Beast from 1956, is a crazy awesome choice to compliment this game. my wife liked it so much, we hunted it down and bought it on itunes.
the dictator story line comes to a very funny conclusion and i thank the makers of this FPS for including such an engaging script. clearly they had fun making this too. driving golf carts being chased by tanks was also good for a LOL, as the kids say...
one downside from my perspective were a few scenes that involved a hell of a lot of hoofing it across endless open landscapes after having a vehicle blown out from under me. these long interludes of huffing and puffing hurt the game flow.
the other was that compared to my first multiplayer experience ever - COD WAW, this one's seemed pretty dullsville. should try it again before being too dismissive though.
long and short - awesome game.
