Don't let a bunch of mediocre reviews fool you. I have had an xbox 360 since day 1 and this is easily one of the best games I have played on the console. The graphics are very shiny (especially in HD) and the controls work great. Sure there are some minor problems every once in a while like you can't reload your double pistols manually when you have 11 bullets left, or the time I drop shipped a truck and when I stood where it should have landed it bounced off me like rubber and flew across the street.

Other than those tiny little gripes this game is like grand theft auto but not as gruesome or violent. the stunt maneuvers are so fun to play around with, you can be driving down the street and hop out of the car and onto the roof and sit there till you feel like deploying your parachute and flying high into the air. you can even hang on the back of a moving helicopter and jump into the cockpit mid flight!! Rico is a badass trust me rent this game and give it a chance. I didnt like it at all the first day I played it but once i got settled into the whole thing I loved it more and more.

BTW this game is huge in terms of landscapes you can swim and walk around on. Much larger than oblivion, problem is you can get lost in the jungle without a vehicle or a mile out in the ocean without a boat and walk or swim back to civilization which is not fun. You may end up choosing to reload your latest checkpoint.

I have been playing this game for about 4 hours now, and im quite surpirsed at how good this game really is. The game world is HUGE, and you literally can do anything you want. There never is down time because there is always something to do. Whether you want to take over a territory, continue with the story, or just simply find cliffs to paracheute off from there never is nothing to do.

Graphically the game looks great. The bright colors and water effects look amazing. Weather changes alot and when you see those dark clouds coming closer you almost feel like your in a real world.

Ultimately this is a good buy, considering that the game is not as expensive as all the other 360 games.

This game looks impressive on a 60" home theater.
The shooting mode feels very arcade-like. The action cam is a nice touch. If you are driving, its O.K. to drive off a cliff cause you won't die.
A welcome change from GTA type urban combat. I did find some familiar parallels to the Godfather game which is also good. The only thing missing is a fishing pole to catch those fish.
