hard to put down the controller...
The graphics i thought were great, they aren't like those games that have wierd graphics, where you can't tell what it is you're aiming at 10 feet away. Now youcan SEE what you're aiming at, and not run into an enemy dressed in black prone in the snow, like on COD Big Red 1, (we both had trouble shooting eachother, it was multiplayer, a tank just came up and killed me tho).
The sound i thought was fun, easily distinguished guns, and the cars seem great now, the cool sound of the nitro and hydraulics, explosions, knowing that little sound just took out 10 people just puts a smile on your face : D.
Overall i think that it is one of the best PS2 games ever, though all the gta games have been to my opinion so far, and is definitely worth the money, since you'll never stop playing (>^.^)> I COMMAND YOU!!!
