A non stop action pact adventure that you wish lasted forever.
1) Gameplay: I would say the U2 is pretty fun to an extend but becomes rather tedious when u play a lot. This game has a cover system which is rather good b/c there is stealth in this game as well. You could blind fire when in cover if u are getting shot at, climb over it to rush at the enemy, or just aim and shoot. In this game u run around jumping on other platforms to get to your next designation which becomes rather linear and tedious after playing for a while. The climbing is like prince of persia or infamous if u ever played it but much simpler.
During the single player campaign there are some levels that are amazing like while u are shooting the bad guys the environment is moving around also like when u are on a train. While playing single player u go around the world to the snowy mountains, to a ruined city, and to a jungle which is why i can say the single player is the best I've played. The new addition in gameplay is stealth the developers put in this game like while in cover you can press the melee button to silent kill them and when they don't see u, u can silent kill them also. Despite the new addition, great single player and stealth it was a tad short if u are a type of person that plays a lot. I finished in like 10-12 hours in Hard mode and just a small tip PLAY HARD b/c i could tell its pretty easy if you pick anything easier.
2) Graphics: I would say overall the graphics are AMAZING meaning environment, trees, sky, water, etc. While i was playing in the jungle i would look at the trees, the sun, or the sky which is marvelous. Well in certain aspects of the game the graphics aren't really focused on some areas but overall its still outshines other games. Many would say it has one of the best graphics of all time but in my own words, the graphics is really above average than other games.
3) Online: A new addition that many like or dislike. The game has only has 5vs5 matches which is a good/bad b/c some levels are bigger than others. There are 7 maps (maybe more in the future dlc) and many game modes. You can play death match, elimination ( a mode where u gotta be stealthy b/c u wont respawn back), king of the hill where u capture certain points, something like capture the flag instead it is a treasure, The mode capture the treasure is pretty fun b/c anyone holding the treasure can throw the it at a certain distance thus giving it more of teamwork aspect if you are into those sort of multiplayer.
There are 2 modes in co-op where u pick the 7 maps in multiplayer and play something like horde in gears of war where u kill the enemies then next round u do it again. Another is co-op but instead it is somewhat like a story mode but really isnt. For example the bad guys have found u and u kill them. In both u and 2 others work together to survive or finish the objective. While playing u can revive each other when someone dies but if u get killed by a bomb or the timer on top of your head expires during the revival phase u die untill the round is over or checkpoint. The horde is fun b/c there is always a hard guy to kill like a guy in armor or a mingun while your team progess to the next round. After a while u play it gets boring due to lack of enemies and i could name 2 monsters that they can put in this mode(dont wanna spoil the story)
During online u level up to unlock perks like drop a grenade or better accuracy for guns or unlock other things like characters to pick online for drake or a elena in the story so that raises the replay value a bit but becomes rather boring when u play a lot. The leveling system is based on money and it is kinda like experience points but u use the money to buy the things i stated above.
Overall this is a must get game BUT if u played the game and don't like the gameplay don't buy it. Even though with limited replay value its still a fun game that everyone needs to try at least once and definitely a game of the year candidate.
