If anyone out there is actually reading any of my reviews. you may think that I hate every game that I play... That's not true at all! I actually love a lot of the games that I play, but certain ones like BOA HH simply aren't up to snuff. To summarize this entire review in just a few words I would have to say that this is a RENT, not a buy... This would have to be classified as a rent for a number of reasons.

1) Graphically this game is not very impressive at all. There are moments while in game that this game looks pretty good, but for the most part this game is middle of the road as far as graphics. Especially the character models... Most of the characters have a strange zombie like appearance while in cut-scenes.

2) Weird little glitches. One of the most frustrating things for me is when a game misses on some basic construction issues. This game suffers from some of the worst collision detection that I have seen in quite a while and the AI is simply not that great. The Devs touted this game as supposedly having GREAT AI! I was never flanked once by the AI in the entire campaign. They simply huddle behind cover until you flank them and shoot them to death... Needless to say, that gets old after the first mission when there is nothing else going on.

3) Gimmicks... I hate little game gimmicks that DEVS throw in for no reason. This game has a death cam feature that would have actually been pretty sweet if it was done correctly. Unfortunately it wasn't... The death cam is triggered randomly from what I can tell. Sometimes even just a run of the mill shot will trigger it, and other miraculous shots seem to go unnoticed. It's also annoying because when it is triggered, it is broken most of the time anyways and makes you look at a wall instead of the action.

4) Virtually no incentive to play multiplayer... With multiplayer achievements being all but non-existent and better games out there to play, I can't imagine that the online support for this game will last very long.



That's it! Thanks for reading!


Well, that's it... Go rent this
