let me first say its getting way over hyped . not that its a bad game. i would give it a 6.5-7 out of 10. the main story is rather short and there are four side quests that get repeated about 80 times. plus you would think that being able to take over check points would be good, but once you take all of them there are NO buddies at all, and it gets really boring. my last complaint is rather small but it annoys me quite a lot, i don't like the feel of the guns and i don't like how the buddies react to getting shot its just not satisfying. all in all its a decent game but in my opinion its not worth full price. oh and any main character you end up killing is a quicktime event which looks like you popped some shrooms and a little lsd.
