Platform: Microsoft XBOX 360 | 4.5/5 stars

----------------------------------------------

All I can say is WOW.  The game is gorgeous.

-------------------------
aside from the graphics, I have 1 complain of games these days with the "next gen".  There's way too much "silver lining" affect via high dynamic lighting.  Making everything have that extra "silver" shine.  I think this takes away from the realism.

Not even movies today use a lot of silver lining affect.
-------------------------

After playing through, I must have a lot of fun, because the game itself felt short.  I did not exactly play hours and hours.  But I did casually played it.  1 hour today, 30 minutes tomorrow, 2 hours next day, etc.  I finished the game under casual mode in about 1 week.

Great story, great voice casting... some hilarious moments.

Dont have any major complaints.  and If i had to try to find anyyhting they are minor anyway:

* I thought the ending could be better in terms of a boss fight.  Boss was HARD as heck, but still felt a bit generic -- just a bit.  but it was sure satisfying once I blew it's ass away finally.

* Felt too short.  but hey, sometimes it's a good thing too.

* Wish I could carry 1 more weapon.  

Verdict.  Not perfect.  But darn close!  4.5/5.  I want to say 4.99999/5 but it looks messy.  :D.  If you own an XBOX 360 already, this is the killerapp you need to own for 2006.  If you dont own a xb0x360 yet... and need a reason.  This app would be the reason to get an xbox360.  It's that good, and it beats out any game out there for ps3.  I wouldn't be surprise if this game wins Game of the Year for XBOX360... or Overall.

also, I want to say, I have not played the multiplayer... and probably will not.  So my review is based on the single player experience I had with the game.

I play it on multiplayer all the time. Its 100 % diffrent from the story line of the game. Killing method is really not to aim u just jump around and shoot hoping not to get blown away.

Id rate it almost as good as halo 2 online, but i really done like how easy you die, most of the times its one shot one kill making the games really short.

games go by rounds, teams of 4 vs 4, witchever teams win the most rounds wins toatall match. like best 3 out of 5

I wouldnt recomend it to the casual gamer to play online, because youll just get instantly raped. I am usally awsome at gun games, it took about a week of strait playing not to be the worst in the game. The best method is to just let ur team run in and use them as a distration  :p . Best wep is prolly shotgun online.
