Absolutly astounding game. When i first seen it in my local game shop i hesitated to buy it after seeing several screenshots that just didnt do this amazingly good looking game any justice. Eventually though i just thought what the hell and bought it, which has turned out to be one of the best game purchases i have ever made. The graphics are astoundingly good for the now dated hardware of the Xbox, probably one of the best looking ive seen. The sounds are also exceptional, with the BMG turned off you really get a feel for your surroundings from just the ambient noises. The story is another great point in this game, the recaptures really mix things up a bit and keep you playing.

Overall an absolutly amazing game which is a must buy for any gamer who likes a story driven FPS.
