First off lets get one thing straight, this game isn't exactly 200 hours elder scrolls long. But the fun does last for well over 15 hours (including the replay value), but for the stunningly low price among todays games this is a definate buy. The greatest thing about this game has to be the destruction. After only half of a clip, the entire battlefield can be desolated with smoke from explosions,covered in bulletholes,and have assult rifles belonging to thier lifeless owners laying everywhere. The game isnt exactly tom clancy but isnt exactly serious sam either. Cover plays a major role amidst the chaos. The chaos has never sounded so good either. Every gun in this game gives an incredible "OOMFH" feeling after pulling the trigger, and gives you the feeling that youre the actual one pulling the trigger. The graphics dont hone up though, im in no way saying thier bad (especially the amazingly cool blur effect that happens) but they just dont match the epic sound in the game.

overall, if you are any sort of shooter fan GO BUY THIS NOW! There is nothing cooler then blowing up a 100 yard tall oil processing plant and watching it make a mushroom cloud!!
