Operation Flashpoint: Red River - Xbox 360

Spread the word to your friendsd this game is awesome. At first i wasnt completely sold on it however after playing a few missions i got used to the controls and really injoyed the game. It has great humor. if there are little children in the room you may want them to leave cause it swears a lot. The worst part is online not enough people have the game yet. Also you can only play coop online and with other people on the same console. Overall excellent game for the money. Go out and buy it now

First off I will like to say this is tactical game. If you try to run n gun and take on the enemy position head on you will die. You must learn to flank and use your teammates. Best thing about this game is that this time you are able to choose your weapons and equipment for you and your teammates at the beginning of each mission. Of course you have to level up and unlock better weapons. 10 missions long, however each mission has 3 parts to it. The single player of this game lasts longer then HomeFront and Black Ops combined. Game has bullet drop and the enemy AI is very good. They are always trying to flank you and make great use of cover. Smoke grenades actually work. Too bad it takes a while to unlock them though. Downside of this game is online. It is co-op only of teams of 4. But you can do co-op of the single player campaign as well.

At first I had reservations about buying this game, due to me being an ARMA2 player, and the fact that this was essentially a stripped down arcade-y console version of ARMA2 that was using the Operation Flashpoint name to move copies but I picked it up anyway because I needed to expand my collection of 360 games which is at a respectable 3 now. The pluses: visuals are very stylized, the AI appears to operate a little better/quicker than the AI in vanilla ARMA2 when put in CQB situations, you don't have to jump through as many hoops to command your AI like in ARMA 2 (space bar, 8, 1 = formation column), AND the voice acting is not led by Microsoft Sam like in ARMA2, enemies vaporize/dismember if you hit em with a big enough weapon, controls feel solid, the AI does it's job admirably, it's a very gritty game (your teammate get's shot next to you and his blood splashes onto your screen) and you can see how close the bullets are missing you by due to the screen effects (bullet hits the ground in front of your face and the dirt gets on your screen), and humor is pretty funny at times especially the character Knox. The only minuses would be: the characters are stereotypes, the game is has more marine nuthugging than Battle: LA but it's not that big a deal, everybody in the game has an alpha male attitude which requires them to cuss like sailors every 2 or 3 seconds, if you don't get to your next objective that's half a kilometer away in 10 seconds your AI squadmates feel the need to hurry you up every other 2 seconds, cursing that's used in some inappropriate places (TEAM F'ING MOVE to...) but it usually only happens during combat which isn't too big a deal. DEFINITELY NOT A GAME FOR THE YOUNG ONES All in all, it's a solid game that, despite some of the arcadey-ness that was added in to "make it accessible to newcomers", gives console gamers a taste of what ARMA2 is. NOTE: If you enjoyed this game and you have a powerful enough PC I strongly suggest that you pick up ARMA 2. It's Red River multiplied by like a million.

The game was good regarding the setup of the gameplay but the graphics seem a little out dated. It's really hard to see enemies but other than that it was good

This is a great game. The campaign is a good length. The gameplay is challenging but not too difficult. I also like the humor.
