If you guys ever have a chance to play this game I  :righteous:HIGHLY recommend it.

Graphics: 10
Gameplay: 9.5
Multiplayer: 8


Single player storyline is very well done and like Carl Johnson in GTA:SA you really get a feel for how the character is developed in Sgt. Fenix.  It uses the "seek cover and recover" health system which is becoming more and more common in shooting games these days. The reload system is the first of it's type I have seen. You have a sweet spot on a bar that you must time with a second press of the reload button to gain a quicker reload and a damage bonus if you hit the sweet spot. If you miss time the second press then the gun jams for a few valuable seconds. You are not forced to hit it a second time, you can reload at normal speed if desired.

Graphics are just jaw dropping. I put the disc in the tray and the 360 booted up the game. Wham the second I get into the game I'm blown away by the amount of detail and polish that went into this game. Everything shows how much care was put into this game. From the lighting to the fog effects to the rain sheeting across the ground in levels where there is a downpour.

I'm just stunned at the high production value that is apparent in this game. Bravo!!!

ive seen a video review of the game and i figured its gonna be the next big console shooter.. but the cover, recover, reload style gets boring to me, ill try it out when my bro in law gets it but i doubt ill want to spend money on a 360 to get this game.

NINTENDO WII FTW

Oblivion is also coming out on the PS3, which in my opinion a better buy, because Sony has decided to allow 3rd party software to run on PS3, you can even install a secondary OS.

I didn't know about that, if thats the case I'll probably go for the PS3 instead. Just prefer sony to microsoft i suppose.

bleach!

I know you like to make these threats, and i dont know if they're serious or a joke, but beware!

We're in the high murder rate era, where people dont use their hands, and instead execute motherfuckers. My trainer always tell me to do my best to avoid confrontations, and prefer the choice of being called a pussy to losing the very one life you have.

just some advice man!
