Graphics, gameplay, enemy AI are all really sub-par compared to what is available now. The most exciting thing about the game is the photo on the cover of the box.

I would certainly rent it (not worth $60) and play it over the weekend, but I am really disappointed that I purchased it.

The dismemberment "feature" is just window dressing that you will get over in about 10 minutes when you realize the quality of this game is so low.

Enemy soldiers will stand in one place as their friend a few paces from them has his head removed by your sniper rifle, textures are rendered very roughly, while sound effects are nice, they are nothing new or impressive.
