Gamefly was made for games like this. dont get me wrong is was a good game and it was fun while it lasted but there is no way this game is worth buying.

Dislikes

-Co-op is extremely short and not much of a story to it.

Like a said good game but thanks to Gamefly you dont have to waste $60 on this game

It's an entire season of 24. This line of stealth-action games from Ubisoft has now completely turned into the TV series. The single-player experience fetishizes torture and highlights the hightech wetwork of spooks, and it does it as seamlessly as possible. The objectives and paths through the level are 100% set in stone, there's no way around it, and the only freedom I got is in how I cleared out rooms full of mercenaries and thugs, and that's really the only draw I found to the game. The story lost me pretty early with the only way to progress is through torturing various higher-up thugs. I had to hit a woman pretty early in the game, and that's the point where I just said, "This game just isn't going to interest me too much, is it?" So I pushed the "Hit" button after looking around the room for alternatives for about five minutes. The game really prides itself on these torture scenes. I ended up doing at least one every two chapters. I hate having to think they're necessary to progress the story.

I played through it trying to find different ways to play, thinking the glaringly obvious one was to go through it stealthy. I played through trying to abuse the Mark and Execute feature, and as soon as I acquired the FiveseveN, a pistol with the maximum number of marks, the game played itself. I tried desperately to find alternatives, but once I had that weapon, I didn't need another for the whole game. The game is so context sensitive I found it annoying. If I wanted to slide into cover, I'd have to point the screen at the exact point, and I'd often do something obscenely stupid. I set off a car alarm when trying to slide to another car. A guard came to investigate, but only looked in a predetermined spot and then ignored it. It's pretty easy to abuse this sort of thing, so I constantly did. I like button mashing, and the controls aren't exactly sharp enough to register it. The game doesn't like rewarding good play and that really kept me from fully enjoying it.
