Perhaps the only game I'll need for online for the rest of the year!!!
There is something to be said for the way that it actually conveys the adrenalin pumping action in a way that makes you feel you are actually part of a warzone.
I rarely ever right a review... MGS4, Uncharted, Gears 2, Fable 2 all passed w/o me feeling the need to share how I felt... Enjoyed them all, but with the possible exception of MGS4, none actually SURPASSED the expectations I had for them going in.
The visuals are hands down the best I've seen so far... but that's not what does it. I really did not expect for the enemy A.I. to be SO good. The Helghast really do use strategy to try to take you down, and they keep you on your toes. It adds to the tension and the warzone feel. Really, the only thing that could have made the game any better would have been co-op, but it's not enough to detract from the game... especially as I really wouldn't have wanted split screen co-op to begin with.
