Excellent story with average gameplay
This game is excellent. The story blew me away and warranted and second and third play through to fully experience everything. At this point however I feel there is nothing else to experience in the game so I doubt I will play through it a fourth time. The game is fairly short and can be easily played through in a couple days so Many people harp on this game for its gameplay, which granted seems like it belongs in a game from several years ago as opposed to a modern shooter. However the engaging and in-depth story, at least for me, trumped any issues I might have had with the gameplay. For the most part the action and controls were fluid so I do not have many complaints about it personally. Taken along with the story and the intent of the developers and I can overlook these issues. This is a violent game about war and complex psychological issues so I would not recommend this for kids. If you are someone who enjoys a good story and contemplating difficult issues then I definitely recommend this game. The experiences I had through this story will stick with me for a while, definitely $30 well spent.

Great game for those still interested in campaign
I had heard of this game, and I enjoy military shooter games, so I thought I would give this one a try. The visuals are amazing, making you feel like you are absolutely in the middle of a sand storm ravaged city. The audio is good and matches the game very well. This story really shines though with it's storyline. ***SPOLIER ALERT*** If you have not already heard, the game is based on "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad or maybe "Apocalypse Now" which is also based on heart of darkness. The gameplay does lag behind some modern games, and while it is relatively solid, it could be much better.

Good shooter
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Its a different experience than your normal shooter game. Your actions mean something in this game and focuses on that. Good stuff.
