Call of Duty + GTA = FAR CRY 2 You have to be a smart gamer to like this one. You do the math.
Like any new game there is a learning curve that needs to take place. Aiming controls, and vehicles are your first obstacles. You should be functional with these in about an hour. Next is the health control. Even on NORMAL difficulty your body can not take many hits from the enemy. Unless you have upgraded your weaponry I would not go in guns-a-blazin. The healing shots work well when you can get to them in time. Cover for the healing process is a must.
After those 3 controls are smooth for you and you can start looking around at the scenery and the vastness of the the game you really start to get addicted. The animals and the buildings. How the towns are laid out. I love how non-linear this game is.
A couple of flaws... I like the story lines but the acting is just retarded. The speech is fast and unemotional. If you here one African you have heard them all.
Close combat is not as satisfying as a lot of FPS. The closer you get to your enemy the dumber they seem to become. They can spot you from a mile away but cant hear you on the other side of a building?
