A legit warning

This game has a very... unique visual effect. For starters, it was the first and only game I have ever needed to tweak the color/brightness etc on my TV to play... On my settings that have handled cable TV, DVDs, Blueray, PS3 and Xbox both via HDMI.
After I managed to get it looking ok, that didn't change the fact that this game has a completely ridiculous amount of "head bob" effect. Head bob while walking or running is enough to make me dizzy - ontop of that, for the majority of the weapons, the animations to show the weapon swaying during movement is also way over the top.
Between those two factors I, this was the first time in my entire gaming career, that a game made me motion sick. It was just impossible for me to watch.
The worst part of this is - I saw the rest of the mechanics of the game were in place. The sound effects are distinct and powerful. The character models, animations, and voice work are all great. Weapon variation is massive, and the 12 or so I handled in my forced time of play, did have unique and satisfying effects.
At any rate... this review is here as a warning for the visuals. Be aware.
