It's difficult to describe just how easy it was to slip into the game, without it seeming easy at any point.

The mark of a good game, besides pretty graphics, great sound and a bucket full of hype, is how well it plays and how the controls feel. I don't think they could have made the controls work any better than they did. Simply dumming down the game for the A button to control a majority of functions allows Epic to make AI more challenging as you only have to concentrate on attack, defence, and reloading. Campaign mode took around 9 hours on the first round. Hardcore was another beast, this took around 14 hours. Insane makes me slightly moist in the pantaloons. Graphics, absolutely gorgeous, though popping is moderately frequent occurance. Animations, physics and environments are all gorgeous, weather effects especially so, the art direction, enemies and Humans are all fantastically detailed and each individual. On the whole, the sound is great, musically the score is brilliant and voice acting is very good. Phrases do seem to be over used on occasions though. It was worth playing though just for the Cole Trains song at the end.
Aww yeah
