Good game with stunning visuals
This game is "rated" as a 20 hour game, but you'll be hard pressed to make it through in that timeframe. I sure can't even get close! This game is TOUGH to beat and the enemies are merciless in their attacks and they hit HARD!!!!! (which will frustrate you to death and send you looking for ways to bypass a fight). I only have 3 real beefs with the game: (1)driving the vehicles is a real PITA (2) sometimes there are just TOO many baddies to wade through. 5-7 bad guys=ok; 15-20???? HUH ???? (3) there is no "Quicksave" funcion.... You'd better be a really good shot and able to handle your weapons FAST b/c you're going to spend alot of time praying that there's a health kit nearby! Like I said, the baddies hit you HARD and do some major damage in a hurry (don't get me started on the Trigens.... 1 swat from these things and it's RESET time!)
All in all, this is a really great game and definitely worth owning. You MUST download the patches (v1.4 cumulative) b/c it will drive you nuts with crashes, artifacts, or unexpected behavior. Aside from the patches, this game hits the mark on all levels: gameplay, plot, world scenery/size, physics, bad guys, weapons, etc.... If you don't own it, get it. You will not be disappointed ! It's a "jungle" FPS combat game that makes you FEEL like you're in an actual jungle. Top Kudos to Crytek for developing this incredible game that's beautiful to look at but won't kill your framerate during gameplay; not too many games on the market have managed to pull this off without owning a "top shelf" big $$$$ system.
