The Bottom Line:

"Old-school"

Excellent story with very challenging gameplay. Sadly the developers felt the need for force multiplayer into this great SINGLE PLAYER franchise(a plague that does not seem to ever end). While it is not a total waste of time but in my opinion i cannot see it lasting the test of time. The Graphics are solid, there is a good variety of weapons to use with a few different attachment types(and you must switch on a regular basis as ammo is scarce, cut scenes are seem less although nearly completely un-skipable(which makes the multiple plays required for trophy and achievement hunters very tedious). The game itself is very challenging even on the medium difficulty you must be wary of your pain killers and bullet time meter at all times. That said i would fully recommend the game and give it a solid 8.9.
