Tactical shooter at its best
Good points:
* Amazing graphics. I am especially impressed by the long draw distances, you can literally see thousands of buildings all the way to the horizon. The special effects and attention to detail are also great. You have heat haze, great physics and even the water spraying out of the fountains have special effects distorting the light as it passes through the water.
* Solid tactical gameplay. Forces you to play it as a tactical shooter, or you will die a quick death.
* Tactical map lets you plan even advanced tacticts easily.
* Low entry level, you will get into the game quickly even though it has many advanced features.
* Immersive and realistic.
Bad points:
* The use of save-points instead of a free save game feature makes the gameplay more realistic, you really feel like you only have one life to spend. But, in practice it is a lot of die and go all the way back to last savepoint. Running through a lot of easy area over and over again to get to the challenge is a bit tiering, especially combined with long loading times each time you die. Save points should be more frequent.
* Hyperactive tem-mate AI. When you issue orders, like "go here", your team mate might go there then run around the point a lot exposing himself. Hard to have them follow orders accurately enough for their survival sometimes.
* Lack of graphics modes. I have to play at a lower resolution than normally.
* User interface a bit cumbersome. A bit slow to issue complex orders necessary in many hectic situations.
* It is easy to get lost in this huge city, so without any navigational help you might stray off easily. Usually you will get a marker showing you where to go though, but in some odd missions you have to find your own way, which really is time consuming.
