While short, this game is an awesome experience that remains up-to-par with the Tom Clancy name and reputation.

The graphics are the first thing I noticed. Flying in a blackhawk helicopter over the bombed-out city of Juarez, columns of smoke rose from the rubble below as the sun refracted through their clouds, which dispersed and blew as the rotors of the chopper generated wind around them. The pops of sporadic gunfire could be heard in the distance as my general briefed my through my technologically advance hud. Suffice it to say, i had a semi before i was even on the ground.

Once there, i was awestruck at the fluidity of the environment. Debris floated around the streets as i slid for cover behind the shell of a car, my feet kicking up dust around me. Calling in my UAV, i got an aerial view of my surroundings and marked the enemies closest to me. A group of three stood together 40 meters off, and from my SCAR mounted grenade launcher flew a high explosive shell that send them flying. Immediately the field was lit up by tracer round hissing past me as i advanced for further cover. One by one, i outsmarted and eliminated my assailants, and continued my mission.

Amazingly, this intensity continues throughout the single player game, which compensates for its relatively short duration. In a few words, this game is amazing. It is impressive and way more than what i expected. However, with some solid time put it, it can be exhausted with a rent. There are qualities about it which make me want to own it, but not for $60.
