Customer Reviews

Superb single player. Not so great on-line
When they say near-photo realism they are not kidding. Probably the best looking game out there, certainly the best single player. I could, and did, play it all night.

On the multi-player side I felt let down. I came to this game recently, and as the players have the ability to retain XP you join as a Level 1, faced with other players with much greater accrued awards. With your poor equipment you have a lot of work to catch up. This rather took the shine off for me. There are no vehicles or deployables and the team play was quite sporadic on the pubs. But then I have been spoiled by ETQW !
Overall it's still worth the money, as the best looking game that *works*.

It's a great experience but not without its flaws
Not had the game that long but immediate impressions are

GOOD
* Great intensity of action
* Excellent immersive experience, it really makes you feel like you are in the middle of a battlefield with little time to think, let alone act
* Top notch graphics
* Some entertaining scenarios

LESS GOOD
* Very obviously linear gameplay
* Last man standing perk - if you're dead you should stay dead!
* Multiplayer is a bit too run and gun for my liking
* The 'recover by taking cover' feature. I know that there's a balance between gameplay and reality but this is just daft (I thought the same about COD2)
