Excellent shooter that unfortunaly doesn't last long, and has no multiplayer options.

The first impression i got when i started, was, WOW this game looks amazing. Sure if i compare it to a game like Gears of War then it's not that amazing anymore, but considering this game is for the Xbox it really is amazing, and the Xbox 360 makes it look even better.

The game is pretty easy to play, if you played other shooters before with 2 thumbsticks, then the controls will be easy enough to navigate through the large levels. The weapons are excellent, they look good, they are fun to shoot, and still keeps skill involved to kill people far away from you.
Lots of things can be blown up, or blown off, and the game keeps a steady framerate while doing it.

Unfortunaly the length of the game and the no multiplayer options pretty much kills the game, you just don't want to spend 60 euro/dollar for a game that is finished in say 10 hours and then just gathers dust.

So while what you are given is well done, the value of the game is just way to low, either rent this, loan it from someone, or buy it cheap second handed and spend your money on a game that lasts you longer then 10 hours.
