The Bottom Line:

"Overrated"

The most important part - gun-play - is as great as in 2nd instalment of the series. Graphics - top notch. Story - I don´t care. The problem is that the game will let you play itself only around 50% of the time. The remaining 50% is spent on cut-scenes. Most of them are totally unnecessary and annoying. Especially first half of the game makes you feel like you are in some kind of interactive movie, not in kick-ass shooter. I was very close to uninstalling the game at that point. The second problem I had was that the cut-scenes often threw you into tough situations and made Max do completely stupid things. Example: after gunning down half of the favela, Max cant handle some 3 bad guys in a house and lets them shoot hostage. 9.0 for this game in gamespot review feels way too overrated from my point of view.
