The Bottom Line:

"Worth playing"

Been awhile since I have written a review - but this is a game which i think people should experience....

(btw - this is only a campaign review - i didn't play multi-player)

Negatives - ok - it is a bit short and does start off quite simple - but by the half way mark things are in full swing.
- It does use pretty simple gameplay mechanics (ie: very GoW like) - and the cover mechanic can be a bit dodgy at times.....
- It does have a pretty standard HUD and there isn't a huge variety of guns....

Positives - I thought it looked great....Dubi is rendered really well and there is great attention to detail - as you progress through the game the main characters and surroundings deteriorate in line with the story......
- Voice acting and sound is pretty good - I didn't even mind the use of 60's music in different parts of the game....
The Story - well - there has been a bit written about it - it is based on a novel (similar to Apocalypse Now).......and it has that 'wow' factor that Bioshock had when you first played it through........without giving away spoilers - it makes you want to play to the end and drives you forward (even though it is a linear path).....during the game there will be some disturbing moments that make any CoD game seem so lightweight.....

Anyway - I believe if you like shooters and /or war games then I can definitely recommend this game - it may be fairly easy for people who play alot of them - but I was gripped by the way the story unfolded (I even found some parts hard to play)....

You owe it to yourself to spend 7 or so hours of your time to play this game......

Thanks for reading
