Raising the bar for graphics while utilizing lessons learned from other shooters.
In the middle-of-the-road category. The perspective of gameplay is a little off. It almost feels like your view point is zoomed in too much. It makes for a fairly tight feeling environment and doesn't make the controls feel very smooth. Speaking of, the controls are a little odd. The sensitivity never feels as smooth as in other shooters for some reason. It is adjustable, but i haven't gotten to the point where I really like it. It's much easier to aim in other shooters than this one due to the combo of controls and perspective.
The bad. The constant frame rate glitches when sections are loading. Instead of installing a large amount of stuff on the hard drive, the game continually loads as you progress. The problem is that every couple minutes it pauses for a few seconds to load. This gets really tiring.
Overall, this is a must buy. The best graphics and pace of any shooter I can remember playing. The mulitplayer online is also very solid. Single player took me about 6.5 hours.
