Never played the first, wont buy the next ...
Im not a Perfect Dark Fanboy and cant get my head round the hype for this game. Graphically its great but as for gameplay its stereo typical FPS all over. The floor constantly tells you where to go and the levels are all boxed so you cant go the wrong way anyway.
The weapons are realistic and great to use, but i just cant describe the game i just dont understand the hype.
Maybe after a lot more play i will be converted, i am starting to like it more now than i did day 1, but if you love games like Far-Cry dont expect this FPS to hold the same ground.
Multiplayer is very good, even the AI when you play offline multiplayer using Bots is great. Rent it first, then buy !!
