Recommended! Lots of hours of play! Even though it's let down by the AI it's still a fun and sometimes demanding game!
Maps are large and is seems like you can go in any direction which makes it really good for flanking enemy positions.
The sound in the game is exceptional and when your behind a pillar or car with a couple of guys spraying bullets at you, it can make you feel like your in a real life battle.. although I’m playing with 5.1 speakers and the extreme sound level selected in the game.
Where the game is really let down is with the AI , although the game can be quiet hard in some places. Problems with the AI include, team mates sometimes not doing what you tell them to do. And if you have the team set to follow.. they will , but mostly at a good distance. Commanding team mates is the only way to go in single player mode if you want to survive. I think commands are some what limited though and more options would have been nice, commands include: move, follow, attack, cover, stop.
The enemy AI isn’t really good either and i have found that they will mostly just spray bullets in your direction and only sometimes take real cover as some will stand in the open taking fire. They don’t seem to try to flank you or seek you out.
I’ve played the game in multiplayer mode with only one other person in coop mode, which I have to say was really fun and rewarding. Having the game end when the host player dies is strange and can be frustrating at times and I think this should have been an option rather than just how it is. I would have to say if you had up to 4 players the multiplayer would definitely be great fun.
All in all the even though the AI isn’t up to a lot this doesn’t take too much form the game and still makes it hard enough for most people due to the urban domain that you play in as the enemy can be anywhere, game play is good but you may need to remap some keys to your liking.. and of course, lots of weapons to chose from but you have to be careful of weight.
I’d recommend this one!
