This is a very good game, but may not be as good as all the hype.
The graphics in the 360 version is amazing and maybe worth buying the game for all by itself. The cities and locations in the game, including water and sky details are very well done, with little touches like airliners taking off over head, are awesome! The animations are tight and believable, and the voiceovers are pretty well done, if not a little to overdone.
The well problem with the game is 2 fold, first the missions are very weak, and really don’t make much sense at all. They throw Joanna (Dark Zero) out in suicide missions that are shallow but intense. The game just wanted to action to begin, and used a pretty weak storyline to get it done. Second, though the action is intense, the missions are silly, impossible, and pretty badly done. For example, you have to sneak into a facility to blowup power station, the problem is, that there are so many enemies, there is no way you would try to sneak into this place, and if you did, you would bring about 50 of your fellow buddies to help out, but in this game it’s just pretty much you.
For Gamespot to give this game a 9.0 but The Call of Duty 2 only 8.8 is a travesty. The weak missions alone pall to the awesome missions in Call of Duty 2, this is a good game but no way is it a great game.
