Ok, let me preface this review by saying that I was completely BLOWN AWAY by this game. My rig, while respectable, only allowed me to play on medium/high graphics settings (no ultra), but it still looked great. Trees, people, water effects, and explosions are all on a whole new level. The AI is intelligent and sometimes very difficult to handle as well as being well coordinated. This can make for some challenging situations when there are a lot of enemies shooting at you from different angles, not to mention the fact that they will sneak up on you through the cover of the dense forest. When played on its highest difficulty level it can sometimes feel like you are in a real-world situation. There are incredible tank battles, psychedelic alien settings and good old fashion North Korean regulars (wow that's original guys, I'm surprised you didn't pick Iranians) to kill.

Almost a perfect game...

Why almost?
Because it was too short. I know, I know I'm being pretty picky (well, not too picky I guess, I still gave it a 9.5) but the FIRST time through this game on the regular difficulty level it took me less than 10 hours to complete. Maybe even more important than that (you can really make the game last as long as 20 or 30 hours if you crank up the difficulty and take your time sneaking through all the levels) was the fact that the storyline ended just when it was getting good. Hopefully they are setting things up for a sequel and it can be a perfect series.

Final verdict: BUY IT NOW...If you think your computer can handle it.
