Good game, definitly not an intense game, but good!
Hmm... the graphics. In this game, its hard to say if either the graphics are good or just plain borring. I have to agree to explosions, the character itself, some of the environement are pretty well made, but then again some of the graphics are pretty lame and too cartoonish. For example, when you compare a car to another, i have seen cars that have great lighting effects on them and others were just plain cartoonish effects.
Other then that, the character evolution is great. You have to increase 5 skills (firearm, explosion, driving, agility and strenght). Unfortunatly you dont see any changes in the skin of your character with the 3 first skills i have mentionned earlier. But when you augment agility, your characters skin changes depending on which initial skin you have chosen. For example, one the characters would get a new stylish hair or new tatoos on his face...there's always a little design that is new with each increase (4 stars max, so 4 different changes). As well with strenght, your character becomes bigger and stronger.
Gameplay:
This is unfortunatly something that can not get a big rating.
The mob bosses are way to easy, although getting to them might be challenging, but they are just way to easy. Shoot their legs or put them on fire with explosions and your pretty much done.
The rooftop races are pretty fun, just the fact that your a spiderman look-a-like makes the races interresting, but they are definitly not difficult (although those on the Agency tower can be rough if your not a lvl 4 agility).
The driving races are pretty lame. Although the agency cars are pretty fun to drive, the races itself are just plain borring. Plus, on some places, I run into a car with the Agency Supercar, now I have frequently ran into the same kind of car and they would just drive over me, but at some moments, you just stop cold dead, no speed at all. This is a bug that is quite annoying. And yet, like in the rooftop races, you have so much time to complete the race that you can drop by a drive thru and grab yourself some fast food, but not too fast.
Inspite all this, it is an open world and if you happen to play coop with a friend. It makes the game much more enjoyable.
Sound:
Nothing really to complain about other then that stupid and annoying announcer. Sometimes, he's so stupid. For example, im at the street level and he's going to say "Wow, I can see my house from here". Do I want to know? Or your shooting at bad guys on rooftops and hes going to say "Watch out, bandits up above!". I know, that why im shooting at them! He keeps repeating pointless stuff that you just dont want to ear.
----------
The game is still pretty fun inspite of what I said. It would be fun to see more challenges cause the game is really short (story wise). But just the fact that they have challenging Xbox Acheivements, it makes the game much more interresting. This is definitly not a must buy game, but its ok. To tell you the truth, I bought it for the Halo 3 beta, which im not supprised many people has done the same thing as me!
Good luck!
