Is too much realism a bad thing?

User Rating: 8.5 | Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising PS3
Op Flashpoint 2, as many other titles will be overshadowed by the arcade military shooter Modern Warfare 2. If you as a gamer are looking for a game that is not like a hollywood action movie and more like a military simulation first person shooter, then check out Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. The game has a fictional but realistic story line, and the gameplay is as close to the real thing you would want. Missions take strategy, and can be completed in a number of ways. Frustration also runs high on some of the levels, and you find yourself taking close to an hour to finish your objectives. If you dont have the patience to actually be a simulated USMC squad leader, you can always go and play the game that has no medics, health, or sense of realism: COD Modern Warfare 2, and finish its campaign in 6 hours. If you want to fight as a soldier must, play op flashpoint, or get to your closest recruiting centre.
