Wow, this is definitely one of my top favorite games of 2008. AMAZING graphics and settings. From deserts to dry forests, you will wish that you could take screenshots. Intense, blood pressure rising gameplay. Especially if you play on hardcore or infamous levels, you will need to strategically plan everything from what weapon to attack with, where to attack from, where snipers, ammo, health, grenade, molotovs, or even get away vehicles are located. And when engaged in battle....gun jamming, ammo shortages, health levels, cover and enemy location.....the realism of gunfights are astonishing. Enemies react to any move you make. This game is about as real and intense that an open world game will get.

However, as always, there are a few setbacks. The storyline seems rushed, no cutscenes, and you never really get that feeling that you were apart of the world. Everyone bottom line wants to kill you, unless they are emotionally involved. You get a sense of paranoia as you go into cities, and sometimes it will freeze, immensley setting you back.

In my opinion, this great sandbox is worth a hundred bucks. Just make sure you have time to play, and the patience of occaisonal freezes. Otherwise, get your hands on a copy today.
