Run, gun, and leap you way to the top of a corrupted city.
So your an "Agent" or thats what this narrating voice that constantally gives you tips calls you.
And you have this big "Agency Tower" that is your first spawn point, and holds three awesome vehicles.
1. The Wedge
Slick super car, goes underneath cars you run into, launches them into air. Very fun to drive around.
2. The SUV
Big tires, Suv. Goes up and over other cars. great for stunts.
3. Truck.
Big, 18 wheeler. cept only the cab. but just as badass. Goes through all traffic easily
With that said, there are also dozens and dozens of citizen cars and gang vechicles that can be "obtained"
AKA stolen
The guns are cool, but the explosives are really what you want to mess around with. Rocket launchers seek out and blow up anything within distance and the grenades are a great additive to the mayhem.
Aiming consists of free looking around and shooting, or holding the Left trigger over something to lock onto and follow it wherever it may run to.
Thats basically all you really have to "think" about during your playing of this game. The rest is just your skills being upgraded while killing.
Yes there is a great mechanic at work here for the stats and skills part. Everytime you kill a gang member, color coded orbs, relating to the way you killed him/her, fly towards you and stack up into organized sections on the left side of your hud.
There is...
Agility - Jumping and running, shooting from high altitudes.
Explosives - Obiously stated. Bigger boom.
Strength - Easier killing with melee, farther throwing distance, heavier lifiting cababilities
Driving skill- Faster, better steering cars.
Firearms - Faster lock on, more damage
They are extremely rewarding and are great to work towards, as you see them build with every kill or stunt.
So if you don't mind a mindless shooter with alot of ass kicking, city scaling and car exploding, this may just be the 360 game to pick up.
