You should let the credits roll anyway. What kind of terrible person would turn off Hendrix?

The sandstorm element is cool. It's a much slower MP than what people are used to, and it seems to reward careful movement and awareness of your surroundings.

IMO it leans a bit too heavily toward camping, but I don't think people have realized that yet.

I want to check the MP out, but I have to figure out setting up my ports on my new router.

The Apple Airport Extreme. Its freaken fast. My speed went from12mbs to over 50mbs. Now if I can just figure out setting up the ports for the 360 and I will be straight

I didn't have any trouble way back when I first got it.

But if you skip the credits, you get to that scene too, I know I did. I thought he meant something in the actual credits.

7 hours and I'm done. All in all a fantastic concept and story let down by run of the mill gameplay. I'm curious to know whether or not the standard video game tropes such as 'heavies' and turret sections were tongue in cheek or not. It sure seemed to glorify violence whilst condemning it at the same time.

I'm glad that a game like this was made and released by a publisher such as 2K. We need AAA games to take risks.

Ah, my fault EG, I didn't know you could skip the credits and still do that.

My review. This game is still on my brain.

So is this worth it or should I wait until the price drops? Everyone seems to be loving the story, but the actual gameplay seems like every other 3rd person military shooter which I've grown tired of. Does the story hold enough of your attention to make up for the generic gameplay?

Absolutely. I only paid $38 for it on PC though.

Yeah, without a doubt. Plus there's free co-op DLC coming in August that I'm pumped for.

I might get a Ganefly membership to check it out. Better than spending $60.

Just subscribed to Gamefly over the weekend. Figured it would be a cheap way to catch up on all the games I've missed over the last year, and to play games like this that don't warrant a $60 purchase.

No way I'm paying 60 bucks for 7 hours of gameplay.
