Nice eye-candy game

I liked the alternative to violent gameplay that this game offers. If that point alone bothers you, this probably won't appeal - but if you're also looking for something other than the typical combat fare, this is worth a try.
Looking at some of the other reviews, it appears to me that some people didn't play past the first few minutes before panning the game. The gameworld is "wide open" in the sense that you can drive and walk around anywhere, within the areas you've progressed to, and you do the driving yourself, once you get past the beginning.
My only gripe is that the graphics aren't as great as they should be for this sort of game. Seems like it would be able to really shine as a PC game, where they could crank up all the latest technology, for terrain details and weather, as well as giving animals a wider variety of animations, more variety of animals per area, etc, etc. As a console game, I know the devs were probably constricted, and it shows.
Still, I've gottan give the game a pretty big thumbs up. I've been enjoying it.
