Now I know that there are thousands of different opinions about this game. Its graphics and voice-overs are superior to almost every other game. The story is already written up in script for movie by following the game. But to tell you the truth it could've been better. For one thing it shouldn't even be put into the action category. Except when fighting bosses your probably not even going to your guns. The endless amount of guards are more diificult to take care of then the bosses. It is also much to easy to beat. I went through the game on Normal without even dieing once.
The basic elements here make up for the short completion time. Graphics are great and smooth. Characters faces are well defined and they're body parts look real. Actions such as they're cold breath show up and make the game even more real-life characteristically. Water shows the reflection of you and the guards are able to hear you sneeze, cough and run across hard surfeces. Really in the long run you can have alot of fun with codes and completion awards though and you can replay the game a few times. The controls are very difficult when your trying to shoot. I really wish that they would have adopted Resident Evil type control or even better, Syphon Filter's. You'll get used to the controls, eventually but don't try to play a different control-style game if you haven't beat it yet.
Overall, it lives up to most of the height and promises for at least 50 hours of fun(assuming that you play Easy, Normal, and Hard). This is a game that I would not rent and wait until it gets a little cheaper because you might beat it if you rent and not want to buy it for extra games.
