I enjoyed the original SOF games and expected alot more to come from this. The gore was always one thing with SOF, and it was actually dumbed down, especially with the knife. The different maps were nice to see and having a enemy try to kill you with missing pieces as well. I felt that if they featured realist gore why didn't they do the same with maps? Like Red Faction or Black. But the online game play brings back the "Up Yours" shooter. Payback is extremely fun online with the things you do to other players, getting blacklisted online is easy with this game. Replay value is low, only because of a thin story and weak game play. But I do believe if the developers took a little more time beta testing with people and waited a while after Halo 3 and COD4 died out a little this game could of been a hit!
