I decided to wait until the price dropped on this game before buying it mainly because of all the negative reviews I read online. I must say though I really liked the game and I'm glad I picked it up. The first thing you'll notice about this game right from the get-go is the realism and attention to detail. The graphics are stunning and the game is very cinematic (which I love!). There are a lot of cut scenes in the game but in all fairness most of them are interactive so you still remain engaged. Think of this game as a playable movie and you will not be disappointed. The story is good and the length is definitely not as short as people are saying, especially if you play it on the normal or hard setting. Overall I really enjoyed the game and I hope to see a sequel one day.
