As good as it gets
20 March 2002
This is easily the best game in years. The game play is fantastic. It's relatively realistic but never forgets that it's supposed to be fun, not frustrating like a lot of other games. And there are all these little touches, like that you can shoot the soldiers radios out of their hands so that they can't call for help and that when you get hurt badly you will leave a trail of blood after you that the soldiers will follow. And that you can hind the bodies of enemy soldiers in lockers so that the other soldiers won't find them. And that you can... I could go on and on.

The graphics in this game is the best I've ever seen. Ok, I haven't tried much on the X-Box and never seen a Gamecube in real-life, so I won't compare to those, but it's so much better than anything I've seen on the pc or the ps2 that I don't have words. And the music, composed by Harry Gregson Williams is some of the best music I've ever heard, and I'm not just talking about music in video games. The rest of the sound is also brilliant, and the voice overs are for once good. As for the story I like it. It's a mix of realistic and the more supernatural and, well, just cool, and I love it. Kind of like some animes. And there are enough plot-twists and conspiracies so you'll always be wondering what will happen next. It's presented with ingame-cut scenes, but they do (honestly) look better than the FMV in most games. Heck, it looks much better than most aninmes I've seen. And they're just cool.

So as I've said this is the best game I've played in years. Buy it and you won't regret it.
