Wow, this is mediocre? Wow - just wow.
I can talk on and on about the art style, the creative story line (oh may goodness. I couldn't put the damned thing down for the first 3hrs. I just had to know what happens next.), the effort put into tring to make it's replayability longer than usual, it's more than decent online mode ... it's opening cut scene speech (just got to love that speech) but I just won't be able to convey how impressive this game is. I've heard a lot of negative things about it's frame rate and pseudo choppy mechanics and while these things do exist, they in no way hinder the actual gamplay - which in my opinion, is glorious.
This game got me hopeful for the future of FPS on consoles.
It's been a while since I've seen a game get such an overly off the mark rating (I mean GS rating of 6.9 is just outrageously wrong, IMHO) and I'm kind of upset that most reviewers did this one an injustice 'cause if not for the lukewarm reviews, I would have picked this game up on day one - GET THIS GAME! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
