Just my thoughts.
Fortunately I haven't run into a single graphical problem in terms of popping or the likes for which I am rather glad, otherwise I would have sent this game straight back.
I am completely baffled as to the extremes within this game, at one end there are some fantastic looking visuals that really immerse you within the world but then on the other hand there are large parts of the game that look as if it had been drawn by a child with crayons. The continuity of visual quality is poor at best, which for me, really took from the game, and didn't keep me interested. The video quality certainly does not warrant the huge ~22GB game size.
The storyline is a slapdash and certainly felt very linear, there was little or nothing you could do that would influence the general story line. There were a nice selection of side quests / mini-games that will keep you interested for a couple of hours. The total time for campaign completion was 24 hours on hard - this included side quests and mini-games.
I think id tried too hard to combine elements of FPS' and sandbox RPG's, neither of which genre seems to take prominence. I certainly felt disappointed with how the campaign ended and can tell you for sure I won't be playing this again. Definitely not what I was expecting from this game, or id for the matter.
Verdict: 5/10
Worth the money? Current prices, no. Perhaps when it hits the £10-15 mark then yes.
Remember, just my opinion
