This game looked so promising from seeing it from the PC and the screenshots and reading about how expansive the game world was etc. All I can say is this game just blows. The graphics were a big let doiwn as were the sound effects. You are constantly bombarded with the sound of "#1 target that machine gunner, #6 fall back into formation, target spotted at 3'o-clock, where are you?...location Hotel Charlie Daniel one niner" and such to the point it completely confusing rather than useful information being relayed to the player. The missions are often unclear as to where your objectives are and often when you reach those objectives (Marked by an ever annoying red box) the game glitches and doesn't aknowledge your presense at the said objective forcing you to reposition yourself over and over on the marker exposing you to gunfire etc. The controls are very clunky and akward too add insult to injury. The only redeeming quality this game has to offer is its multiplayer mode which is still less than up to par with any other games of this genre. I do however love the visuals of the night vision goggles but that alone can not save this game from going straight to the bottom of my list of FPS's to play. My suggestion is maybe rent it if you are really bored.
