A great game, but not excellent or a classic.
A very good game, but not a classic like many make it out to be.
First the things I liked. The amazing graphics that really brought the game to life. Second was the game play which did take a little while to get used to but was still great.
Now on to the things I had problems with. First it was a little easy for me. Even on the difficult modes. Then the length of the game wasn't very long. I spent about 10 hrs playing the game, and there is now real replay value with this game like GTA IV and Mass Effect. Once I beat it, I just didn't feel like playing it again. The third thing was the story and the lack of depth it had. It was ok but it really didn't add anything to the game.

i played the secend one. And it was good. But not as good as this one was. And I like to play more to MP then playing myself with a alt account on XBOX 360. But time will come I will play this online. That when I get my XBOX 360 back online. Becoues one befoer this broke on me. But I have had it over 2 years. So who to complained about that.

CHECK IT OUT!!!!!
OK so for starters I have to say that this is way more fun than the first game!!! The new weapons (Such as the Mortars) are sweet!!! I mean this is one of the best shooter games I've played!!! Colt is still a moron that runs into battle and gets himself killed and Baird is still a woose. Other than that the game was awesome!!! The new vehicles were sweet!!!!

As Good As It Gets
This is probably the best game for Xbox thats out. It has the best graphics out in my opinion and it came out all most 2 years ago. The story mode is really addictive and i beat it at least 20 times. The more you beat it the more you will understand it. The only problem i had was the story left many question but since the second one is coming out in 11 days i hope those questions will get answered. It has great audio and AMAZING visuals that i cant even explain. Then the action is just unexplainable. There is no other game like it. You get to chainsaw people, blow up people, and fry them with a laser that comes from the heavens above. It is a must have for true gamers with an Xbox360. There is no reason that this game shouldn't be in your game library.
