Summary: A few clicks short of the first Halo, with a lil RE4 flavor. In one word - EXCELLENT!
THE GOOD:
Immersion = 10/10
Dim the lights and turn off the phone - it's a big world that sucks you in - really fun! Great story and music.
Save Anywhere feature = Yippee!
A.I. = 8/10
Enemies are pretty smart, set up ambushes and flanks and toss grenades.
Graphics = 7/10
Replay = 8/10
With the open ended free-roaming world, massive stages and battles, great A.I. - I will definitely replay this one; it's a different experience everytime.
THE BAD:
Collision Detection = 4/10
Get ready to get shot up while trying to run through a door and your path becomes blocked by a pebble.
Aiming = 2/10
The targeting reticule sucks, you cannot fire while zooming, you cannot 'peek out' from corners making you have to strafe in and out (that sucks big time).
