Okay, so I've been anticipating this game since last summer. The trailer wowed me with its amazing graphics and action. Well, finally got the game, and felt cheated. The character animations were sub-par, so the graphics you saw in the trailer, were fake. The game's graphics are not even close to being that good. The game starts with you in a jet pack, and its a blast, a little diff cult, but very fun. But then, you change to the main character, Will. Who is voiced by Nolan North, the voice of Nathan Drake from Uncharted 1 and 2. He sounds exactly like Drake, and acts like him to. Not the best choice on the developers part. The game without a jet pack, is rather dull and unexciting. That soon changes drastically. As you'll see in the Pros and Cons, the game has its flaws, but is still rather fun.
Pros: Nice environment graphics, decent main characters, sick looking enemies and guns, flying is the best. Voice actors are good, cool deaths, the jet pack makes this game amazing. It is the highlight of the game and never gets old. Nice control setup.
Cons: Story isn't explained very well, character graphics are sub-par, Will looks to much like Nathan Drake, enemies are brain-dead, melee attacks are to powerful, and ground combat isn't that fun without jet pack.
This game is very fun, don't get me wrong, but it defiantly ha sits flaws, quite a few actually, especially for a game that's been in production so long. So go ahead, try the game, but rent it before you buy. Flying and hovering with the jet pack is super awesome, defiantly a fresh taste on the flying genre. Just rent first, some may not like it. I know I do, but I'm not gonna spend $60 bucks on iy, wait for it to be cheap and buy it used.
