I've been meaning to write something about this game and it's score on this page for some time.
Im going to go through the review and see what i am unhappy about it because i dont think that the game deserves a 6.5 rating, it's just fun and that's a whole lot better than a lot of the games out there.
Im going to try and sum up the review in a few words.
Review:
The first paragraph of the review is about that it is a dumb take on a present day issue (the iraq war).
Okay i will agree that it does have a childish story, somewhat, But i don't think that this game has any take on a present day issue. We get to see 9/11 footage in the background and that is the thing that sparks up more mercenary work. So they used 9/11 but there was really not that much of a political subplot. This to me is to minor to even be commented on.
The second thing that botherd him is that some enemies take to long to kill and have superior aim.
Now im starting to wonder if we played the same game....
The only enemies that were even a little hard to kill were the heavily armored ones and i could run into a crowd of guys and massacre them with my AK-47... And yeah i played all the difficulties and i did not have a problem with beating this game, i did die sometimes but the game would suck without a little challenge and if anything this game should be harder.
Next up he criticises the AI and says that it will sometimes drag you way to far to heal you.
I went through 3 playthroughs with my friend and one with AI so i don't really know too much about this.
But the AI was no problem when i played, it answered all my commands dead on and behaved really good. I mean there aren't alot of games that you would need to rely on the AI as much as in this game so of course there is going to be a flaw here and there. AI doesn't always have common sense, but i will say that the AI in this game beats the AI in so many other games and this is really no problem at all.
He says campaign is short.
I agree.
Says that it mocks the army.
Okay this is just ridiculous, there are things that are meant to provoke thought and there are things that are just suposed to be entertaining, and if you couldn't guess it yourselves then i will tell you now.
This game does not have any subliminal messages.
It does have a short story line but it's fun, and in my case the achievements made this game worth 4 playthroughs.
The versus mode is great, it's fast, it's fun and it's gameplay is worth days of entertainment.
Ok so for a game that plays great and looks great the fact that it gets a 6.5 for a bad storyline is just proposterus.
Im sorry this got so long...
