OUTSTANDING!
night vision and thermal goggles give you the edge in dark situations, and the numerous types of grenades help you to play tactically. the snake cam allows you to look under doors before you enter, and from there you can assign priorities. for example, you can tell you team to take out the soldiers in whichever order you want. so if a terrorist is holding a hostage at gunpoint, you can tell your team that he is priority one, and they will take him out first when they enter the room.
as in past rainbow games, you can order your team to stack up at any door and then order commands of entry from there. the system works great and gives you the chance to plan and execute your plan.
Sound: The game sounds pretty good. it really stands out when you are in a big casino, with all kinds of machines and noises. the bullets flying around and hitting the slot machine, causing piles of coins to fly out and the machine rings. there are all kinds of little casino rings and noises. the game is definately rated M. the amount of swearing in the game creates a pretty realistic seeming environment. there are tons of F bombs dropped, and threats made by terrorists. some of the conversations that the terrorists have are sort of humorous and at least make for a chuckle here and there.
Value: The games single player is great, because there are all kinds of weapon loadouts that you can choose from, and being able to customize each weapon adds to replayability. it seems each time you play through a mission, it is different. also there is an awesome coop system allowing up to four players to play through the campaign.
then theres the multiplayer. this is in my top 3 favorite on 360, among gears of war and call of duty 3. there are a few different gametypes, and they are all pretty fun. many of them are objective based and they make for some great gametypes. one thing that i feel the developers really scored on is giving you the ability to do everything you do in single player in multiplayer. you and your team online can repell down walls, use snake cams, customize weapons you name it. the P.E.C. system allows for some of the coolest player customization i have seen in a game. if you have the xbox live vision camera, you can take a photo of your face and the game will create a 3d model of your face and put it on your online character. you can then play online as yourself, or if you want, you can even play through the campaign with your best friends who all can look like they really do in real life. overall the game is kick ass, and has me glued to it. if you own a 360 and like shooters at all, this game is a must!
