High quality game that you wish was about 2x as long, unfortunately it's not.

My biggest complaint and the one that makes this game hard to suggest is that it's just too damn short. If you bought this game new and sat down Saturday morning, you could have this game wrapped up by Saturday afternoon or night... and that's it. Game over.

I won't give more than a nod to Multiplayer as it's just a death-match laden gimmick that everyone seems to add at the last minute in order to get that check mark at the back of the box: "We have multiplayer!"

The quality of the game is excellent, the story is interesting and the world you exist in is awesome... but the game boils down (within 3 hrs of starting) to a simple revenge story... kill everyone. I wish it had done more and slowed down a bit after the pickup at the beginning, felt like running-and-gunning Gears of War style, and that's not what I was looking for.

7/10
