A fun, entertaining, and involving game.
I loved every minute of it. As I crouched behind a poker machine, with bullets whizzing over my head, with sparks coming off the machine, and smoke grenades falling, only popping up to take head shots was damn damn exciting.
I felt so involved. I found the health system to work really well, take a few direct or close hits and your dead, but take cover for longer enough and you'll be like new. I like the range of weapons and explosives, and the ability to customise the weapons.
The graphics are rock solid and they have done really well in building the city of sin. One thing I did miss was cut-scenes. I felt each chapter didn't have a ending, just jump in the chopper and do it all again. I also thought the very end of the game was hardly satisfying.
All in all I think it has setup the series for a new run on the next-gen consoles and I look forward to every second of tactical room breaches.
