Repetetive Entertainment

Difficulty:
Easy
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Mixed reactions"
The game was very repetetive, and anti-clamactic at the end.

It was fun, but always left me wanting more. Was a good use of spare time for some entertainment, but nothing to write home about.

Traveling long distances to objectives became tedious. I often found myself more concerned with having to find my way around the map than doing the mission.

Wish there were some kind of compass or mini-map on the main screen that you could toggle on & off without having to switch to a handheld map all the time.

AI was unreal. You'd shoot from 800 yards out with sniper and they would know exactly where you were. The covert aspect of the game did not exist. And, somehow their assault rifles were more accurate than some of your sniper weapons.

Vehicles became disabled far too easily. And why is it that the big, old and ugly assault truck was the fastest vehicle? The buggy or some of the newer Jeeps, to me, would be faster, especially with their clean engines. And where is the large 4x4 truck shows in the screen shots? I never saw that. Not enough types of vehicles/boats.
