The most underrated game ever

How come so many reviews are slating this game. i really do think its quite excellent probably second only to saints row in my xbox360 collection (with the usual candidates GOW and Halo3 way below). First of all I'd like to say a lot of the issues other people have with the game i just haven't had. I didn't find it too hard. It's challenging, yeah just like hit-man. I didn't find aiming a problem, OK machines guns are hit and miss but a rifle is pretty much spot on, surely thats quite realistic? i didn't hate the story line, it's no enthralling quest like good old mass effect, thats for sure, but it isn't bad. it's definitely entertaining. I thought the cover system worked rather well. I think that playing this game is more like doing it in real life, in a way. Whereas you might be looking for cheap leg-shot kills and cover that makes you totally invulnerable in other games you won't find it here. I think as what it set out to be a games take on true Michael Mann style action movie its truly superb. Hosts of memorable levels, very good game-play (i think anyway) and good variety too. This isn't run shoot repeat like halo or GOW or the army boy approach of COD4 (which is pretty excellent admittedly), this is a more stylised film approach with much more vulnerable and edgy characters. I'm a big fan of IO, loving hit-man and the equally underrated Freedom Fighters and i don't think this game disappoints at all. Whatever is said about this game it doesn't look like many people are sitting on the fence. And as for divided opinions go, my opinion is very high. If you like hit-man or Micheal Mann's Heat (1995) then give this a try. 10/10 Great
