Section 8 is NOT a great good, nor a good game. The graphics are pretty good, but that's about it.
The story is... well, I don't know. Yeah, it's THAT bad. All I got really out of it was that some guy on the Arms side killed Coran's whole squad by sending in a big robot, which you WILL die from when it first arrives. The way it starts out is just too sudden, too quick. There's about a minute cutescene when you start a new game, and then you fight, with pretty pitiful trutrual. And, what's worse, you can beat the game in one sit down...
The gameplay is BELOW average. The button set up is so weird, you will spend about five minutes fixing it in the options. Example; to use grenades is the Right Bumper. Jump is Left Bumper, hold it down for the jetpack (o.k, the jetpack IS prettycool, but it lasts only two seconds and takes a bit to reharge). Oh! This is a good one; the game is pretty hard EVEN on easy! Even if two enemies are against you, you WILL get owned. Good thing is, you have infinite lives and you just land in the level again.
And... wow, driving the tank is nearly IMPOSSIBLE! You will have a terrible time tryin to drive it and to control it. And, what's worse, the FIRST time you drive it (WITHOUT any insructions), you are TIMED.
It looked like a great game, I was exicted about it, now, it's a disappointment.
Don't buy, or even RENT, this game. To me, it's just another game which tried to beat Halo and Gears of War but failed so bad, I can barely play it.
