Beautiful game, with an engrossing story. Very repetetive - you end up doing the same kind of things over and over again, but who cares when the things you're doing are such FUN? I can still spend hours just running across the rooftops of the cities, fighting the guards (frankly pathetic, once you get all your skills) and upsetting street traders!

Everything an RPG should be. Some clunky interface problems are easily forgiven when you realise the sheer scale of the thing.

All-too-realistic war game. Single player full of excellent cut-scenes, interspersed with crawling through muddy fields under muddy skies firing mud-coloured weapons at mud-coloured bad guys. Everyone raves about the multiplayer, but if you're not REALLY GOOD at first-person-shooter games, prepare for a frustrating time battling on Xbox Live. Who wants to just spawn / die / spawn / die over and over again?

Pure fun, bouncing around the city blowing things up never seems to get old. Once you max out your skills and are leaping up buildings, throwing cars, and causing explosions which shake the whole block. Great fun in co-op mode too.

Great fun, but actually had MORE fun with the Demo, since the full game forces you to complete missions at certain times, which doesn't leave you with enough time to do a free-roaming explore of the mall.

Good, fun game, though with occasionally dodgy voice acting, and a difficulty curve that reaches (for me) the impossible, well before the conclusion of the story. Good multiplayer, but full of wannabe gangsters with even worse language than their Halo 3 counterparts. Which is saying something.

Realistic, but not TOO realistic gameplay. Excellent in co-op mode
