The most over-hyped title of launch for the 360. While a fun shooter, there is nothing new. Feels 1/2 Gen, not Next-Gen.
While this is a respectable an honestly fun shooter , it is not going to be remembered as one of the great sign-posts in Xbox 360 Gaming. The story line, and linear path you need to take through world are flat.
The graphics while nice, and definitely better than old-gen, are just not as stunning as some of the other releases like COD2, DOA4, and even Kameo (an under-rated graphics gem).
The drivers I expect in immersion, like expanded worlds, real shooting skill (lock on feature a bit of a cheat) great script and voice talent just do not exist. Some of the voice charactarizations are incredibly tacky like a kids Saturday cartoon, well maybe not that good.
All this said, as a knock on next-gen expectations, PD0 is still a good bit of fun. It is short in campaign mode, but that is never a big problem for me. Scenarios are fine, but nothing new here and the final boss battle for me was one pass, guess the weapons right, and you are done.
Have not played a lot of it on Live, but it is fun, though if I am taking a shooter online right now it is COD2.
If you loved PD first time, and addicted to sci-fi/espionage based shooters, it is fun, but don't believe the hype. Perhaps if you go in with a lower expectation it will be very a very satisfying game. I just wanted more to pay off all the accolades with gameplay that could exceed.
