I know this game got mediocre reviews, but they all seemed to say it's a good game with flaws - and even some people here said it was decent. I managed to snag a deal on the game, so I figured what the hell.
Now, it could just be because I just recently got into console FPS games, and I went from Bioshock to Halo 3 to the Orange Box to Call of Duty 4 - so I suppose the bar was set high. But still, I find the game to be almost unplayable.
The controls are terrible. The graphics are mediocre. The AI is retarded. The story is moderately interesting - though not interesting enough to keep me playing.
I'm maybe 2 hours into it, maybe less - I'm at the part where I am running from the helicopter for the first time. Does this game get better at all? Is this beginning part just a hurdle I need to get through until the "decent" part comes or is it 6+ more hours of the same?
I've played quite a few PC shooters, and even when they're bad, they're still alright. But with a console, it just blows my mind how a poor control scheme can make the game a giant turd. You'd think they would all copy the Halo/CoD4 controls and be done with it.
Oh, and the fact that the main character looks like a retarded goth yet talks like a Sopranos cast member really takes me out of the game.
