I waited to write this review and now I'm happy I did......

I purchased this game on release day and played it every night for a couple of weeks. It was the best game I had played in this genre. I pictured myself playing for another 2-3 weeks and completing all the missions and getting all the achievements. I couldn't think of another game that would pull me away from this. Then all of a sudden I got bored. I decided to pick up Saint's Row and I ended up forgetting about this game. Don't get me wrong this game is really good and worth the price, but it just couldn't hold my interest for long enough. I can explain it only by the fact that it feels like a sand box game but you have a curfew. You can play the game w/o doing all the cases but that is only fun once around, then you get bored with trying all the weapons and beating the zombies down. Then you can play through the game and do as many cases as possible but you are on a time limit and you just can't do everything at once. Then you realize you have to do the same thing over again just to unlock the rest of the stuff. FERGETIT.
The controls are good but I didn't like the aiming w/ the Left Trigger. It felt like I was trying to swat a fly w/ a fork. The rest of the controls fit well and were fun to play. The graphics are great and the story line is strong (the 1st or 2nd time through). I just wish it had held my attention for longer. I have friends that are still playing this game and I don't fault them for that. But for me I just couldn't keep playing this game over and over.
