Customer Reviews

NOT TOO BAD
This game is pretty good, such as the gameplay and i love the scopes on the guns:)). Although the campaign mode on the game is very short its only nine chapters, so it gets boring after a while. Xbox live on this game is good and great fun. This game is not too bad for achievements either. Overall the game is not too bad, not too bad for the price too. WORTH A GO !!!.

Very poor
I found this game to be no fun to play at all. There is no reaction when you shoot a player. The graphics are bad. The level designs seem to be all the same. Ultimately if this was out on the original xbox i would have given it a three or four star but compared to other shooters available now it doesnt cut the mustard.

Too easy!
Whats good:

1. Graphics
2. Game play area
3. Choice of weapons / vehicles etc

Whats bad:

1. Too easy
2. Framerate jitter

I'm relatively new to console gaming; having just turned 40 and the owner of an XBOX 360 and PS3. I finished FFoW inside 6 hours, first time round, on "normal mode" and promptly traded it back in the same day.

Yes, I cut my teeth on the likes of Halo 3 and CoD4 which I found much more difficult when set to "normal" gameplay; I found the battles in FFoW to be a walk in the park when compared to the intensity of CoD4 / Halo 3.

Don't let me put you off buying it - the array of weapons and vehicles is very good; the graphics are above average although the scenery does suffer from a "jitter", especially when viewed through the gunsites. The gameplay area is large and detailed offering several different routes (and strategies) to the same goal.

A good stop-gap until Killzone 2 (PS3) emerges, whenever that is...
