This game is amazing. My roommate and I have been playing through all the maps on realistic difficulty with no respawns and it is hard as fuck. Some maps take us 3 or 4 hours to master.

Agree completely. I'm in love with this game. As much fun as GOW, but a higher replay value imo. Best game of 06!

There is a MAJOR, MAJOR bumblefuck in this game however. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! So HUGE that, despite the fact that this is the best game of the year by far, It cannot be recommended.

UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES!!!!!!

Yes, it's true. When you play this game you'll be subjected to moments of undescibribable boredom as your character sits in a helicopter flying to the mission's location, during which time you do not receive ANY exposition. The only thing that can be done during these piece of shit cutscenes is to look around the helicoptor and out the door, at the none to extraordinary landscape. The tempo of the game is ruined, and you arrive at the mission allready frustrated to high helll, near ready to throw your controller at the wall.

Thanks UBISOFT, for ruining the best game of the year. Pricks.

Oh yeah, everytime you die, you have to watch the cutscene again. Isn't that fucking spectacular!

You know what to do...stop dying.

I set myself up for that one I suppose.

I should also say this, the controls in this game are fantastic! They have the most important characteristic of control configuration nailed, an intuitive design.

Oh and the cover system is second to none. The mechanics of it are flawless.
