I love mindless killing like the next guy, but..........
First the things I liked that actually prompted me to give this a six otherwise it would have been a 5 or below. The vehicles, very well done, maps, gps very well done. Combat is fun, a decent variety of real life weapons. Can upgrade your weapons and you have to replace them often especially if you fight a lot.
I actually like the flamethrower it's a nice weapon especially in the bush, can't see the enemy no problem there just burn the f-cking place down :)
Things I didn't like or could have cared less about, the actual story and any sub players like your mercs who help you with missions, the pills thing is just wtf were you thinking. I have no idea if picking another player at the beginning actually adds up to anything different in the game, but no way in hell I was going back and playing through this snooze fest to find out.
And that gets me to why this game got a 6 and the same reason I gave assassins creed a 5.5. BORING, from the first quest to finding the first diamond. Diamond=flag, although the secondary use of diamonds to upgrade your weapons kind of forces you to search in a lot of places and wastes a tremendous amount of time, and frankly after a while you just don't care to find them anymore after the 80th one or so it's gets old a lot sooner than that though. Repetitive, repetitive, repititive. Each quest sub mission, main plot pretty much the same as assassin's creed, you've done one you've done them all.
The only reason this got a .5 higher than creed was the combat, which there was a lot and the only reason I finished the game.
Ubisoft what can you say they make the boringst games on the planet plain and simple, there is a reason they had the most worst games of 2010 voted by metacritic scores, can't say I always agree with metacritic, but this time I really do, every single ubisoft game is f-cking boring after the first hour.
They do such a good job making the environment and working on combat, but they need more variety and more interesting quests and characters.
