I bought this game for 2 reasons; 1. It received a favorable review from Gamespot which generally means you're getting a good game 2. It was on sale at Gamestop for $20, I paid $0 after trade ins. I was pleasantly surprised at how fun this game really was. The controls are easy to learn and the skills are not too complicated. This is a game anyone can pick up, play all the way through and not get too frustrated. The guns and equipment are all very cool and most can be highly customized. Guns can either be bought or if you take a little time and take back some cell towers guns become available free of charge. This creates a real incentive for exploring the very well designed island. I was impressed with the level of detail and shear size of the place It is however a violent game so if that is not your thing I would say stay away. My only other gripe would be that is probably too short, I felt they could have built a lot more missions into the story.
