I was originally turned away from this game because of all the negative publicity surrounding it. Against my better judgment, I rented the game anyway.
After playing it, I discovered that all of the people who rated this game negatively were, in fact, correct to some extent. Yes, the checkpoints are very far apart(which is extremely angering). Yes, the game is short(8 levels, 6-8 hours approximately). And yes, the gameplay isn't exactly amazing. Still, despite these set backs, this game is worth playing. The story is very good. (Most of) the missions are entertaining and exciting. The graphics, while not exactly top-notch, are still pretty good (and not at all something that should be used against this game in people's reviews). My favorite levels were the ones New York and Washington. The levels in London were frustrating and fairly boring. All of the invade-a-German-secret lab-by-yourself stuff reminded me a lot of MOH Frontline. Being able to use an enemy as a shield is an exciting feature in the game, although it isn't always particularly useful.
All things considered, this game isn't awesome, but it does not reek either. If you are debating whether or not to rent this one, I'd say go for it. Expect some disappointment, but a lot of fun.
