A game that satisfies on a level SO fundemental that it makes up for a lack of a decent story, but adds major replay...

Pros: The carnage would have to be the greatest aspect of this game. Long after you play-through 4 times (to get the four endings) you'll be coming back for more just because of the action. Plus, you can steal any helicopter, tank, or car that you see, which allows for loads of fun. Example: Why not take a transport helicopter, lower the magnetic wench, and pick up any enemy vehicle(with the enemies still inside), and toss it a couple hundred yards? Or, you could put C-4 on your car, drive it into the enemy tank, jump out, and set off the C-4 for a glorious fireworks show. The fact that the game's story is weak actually adds to the overall replayibility because the main focus of the game will shift from saving Korea to destroying everything in sight, which will bring you back time and time again.
Cons: The physics aren't quite right. This never really affects you in game and isn't anywhere near a good reason not to buy the game though. Sometimes, to keep the game fun, you need to use cheats. I kinda don't like using cheats, but again, not a good reason not to buy the game.

Summing up: This is a wonderful masterpiece of a game that should be played by anyone with a Playstation, but if you have an XBOX, I'd suggest that you just go get Halo.
