Operation Flashpoint: Red River for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I had been searching for a military style game other then COD and MOH for awhile now to occupy my time. Im not much into online gaming so i was looking for a game that would require me to play online to get the best contact. Operation Flashpoint: Red River is a game that did little to quell any of the needs i was hoping to fufill. My number one biggest problem with the game is that it was intended to play as a multiplayer game yet it the nearest you could get to multiplayer with out going online was a systems link. The game could have been so much better had it allowed for split screen gaming. My second problem with the game was the A.I. The enemy A.I was almost impossible to beat. While it was nice that you couldnt run down the street capping 40 guys by yourself it got extremely frustrating that everytime i popped my head out of cover i got killed. This didnt help the matter that your squads A.I was pretty much useless. You had to use your commands almost all the time to keep them from walking out of cover and getting themselves killed, which made it even worse seeing as you were trying to keep yourself alive as well. The command feature felt like a poorly executed version of Socom. Red river also allows for customization of weapons which seems like it would have been a cool idea....to bad that i was never able to actually do it. You would imagine that inbetween missions it would allow you do change your weapons to suit your style of play but nope it doesnt so i would imagine you would have to quit your game session to do so. On the plus side the graphics look fantastic making you feel like you really are fighting in the middle east and the voice actors do a terrific job, especially the guy who does knox. His lines are hillarious and make the game almost worth sitting through to hear him call you bags of forskin and other funny retorts. My advice if you absolutly need to play this game rent it. If not i would spend my time playing another shooter like socom 4

I didnt like it. the grafiks Rnt that good,i think the levls R kinda hard. im used 2 cod contols, so if U play cod U may not like it.
