Despite being released a year ago for the ps3 and pc, this game is anything but old.
story-the story of this game basically are series of bot matches with fancy cut-scenes that prepare you for the real prize of this game, which is the multiplayer. You can play it with a friend in splitscreen or over live.
graphics- the graphics are great! I would rate it a 9.5. there are texture pop ins here and there but you will be too busy enjoying the action to notice. The frame rate and grphic quality takes a bit of a plunge in splitscreen but it still looks great. It doesn't have those bootleg black bars that halo has on the sides of the screen.
sound- the sound of this game is great. explosions and gun fire sounds are amazing, but the dialogue is down right dumb. "you saved me just to blow me to bits." Its like gears dialogue, since you know same developers. LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT THE UT SERIES CAME OUT LIKE TEN YEARS B4 GEARS, so please stop saying it jocked from gears.
gameplay- the gameplay of this game is very frantic and non-stop. If you camp like in COD4 (stay in one spot hiding waiting to stealthy take someone out) you will most likely get blown into bits. Strategy isn't that much of a requirement of this game, but fast reflexes are. It basically determines who lives and who gets pwned.
Lasting value- this game will keep you busy for quite a while. there are about 55 maps, several gameplay modes, splitscreen, bots which are cpus that you can play with offline or online, even in splitscreen with your friends. The question people often ask is should i get this game if I don't have live? I thought the same because I don't currently have live, but I don't whatsoever regret purchasing this game. If you don't have someone to play with in splitscreen then no, I recommend you don't get this game. If you don't have live, but have someone to play with in splitscreen then I recommend that you definately check this game out. This game all comes down to opinion, if you are not sure if you want to buy this game, then I recommend that you rent it. If you want to take a risk and just buy it like I did then i hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
