Failed to live upto the Hype....
I heard amazing things from this game but when i got playing i thought why? it seemed to me that people only love this game for the graphics but totally ignore all the faults and mediocre gameplay.
First off this is a Third person shooter and not a FPS, so when people say they havn't seen the taking cover system in a FPS are wrong. I've see this system in plenty of Third person shooter before but it didn't dominate the gameplay. As a result it really makes the game a one trick pony and pretty repetitive and tedious after awhile.
I thought the characters were boring and had no personality and the story line was just not there at all, it really ruiend it for me as i love storyline in a game. The guns wern't really there too, seemed to be a real lack of them for me and the sounds of them wern't all that great. Felt to me also that the music was taken from Aliens or something, there wasn't much of it and that topped on with the mediocre sounds just made me think "hmmm" lol.
The game is short and wasn't worth the £50 for the game, only lasted me about 6-8 hours on the main single player. The multiplayer lasted me 2 hours before it just got totally boring. The valve of the multiplayer it hought is bad cause i had to pay for a Sub to just play a game online that i already paid for!
The multiplayer lacks features and really only has one gameplay mode + theres only 4 vs 4 with a limited choice of maps and just gets boring very fast. It just didn't seem a whole lot fun and theres much better out there.
The coop was good but after you played the game by yourself you don't really wanna run through the same thing again!
The x button aswel tries to do tooo much and it can get very annoying pressing sumthing and it does a different thing. Like running and then you go to take cover :S I also hated the cinematic running view, just made me think why?
Overall then it's a short game with great graphics, mediocre sounds and a bad multiplayer. The game isn't worth the price tag and it's just a disappointment from all the hype. That said the art is great and it's a solid game, just not enough content.
