Sure it has its glitches, but the game is still a blast!

And that is why i knocked it down .5, people. The glitches. Sure, they can get annoying (Guy you're supposed to escort disappears like a ninja), but the missions are so much fun, I don't mind doing them again. The scale of the destruction is amazing. Anything that can be destroyed, will be, even those huge oil rigs. And the explosions are SOOOOO satisfying. On co-op, it's twice the fun. Running around with a buddy just causing general chaos never gets old. Sure, the AI is a little iffy, but that doesn't bother me. and HOW THE HELL are the guns not satisfying to shoot? I don't get that. The controls are fluid and intuitive, the sound is great, it looks great, and it plays smooth as silk. The story isn't nothing special, but it sets a backdrop of WHY you're out there.
The game utterly passes with flying colors on what it tries to do- satisfy your destruction bloodlust. Just ignore the glitches.
