Product Description
Set in the year 2048 in a world where Governments have outsourced military operations to Private Military Corporations (PMC), you play a newly enlisted soldier seeking fulfillment and thrills by fighting for a good cause. As the leading PMC, Mantel Global Industries offers a high-tech arsenal of vehicles, deadly weaponry, and on top of that a performance enhancing bio-medical support known as Nectar. As a result, Mantel troopers are the most feared by terrorists, dictators, and the corporation's political enemies. Your conflict begins in a war-torn country where you have been sent to fight a vicious rebel faction, the Promise Hand. At first glance, all is well, but things quickly begin to look a little strange? Entirely streamed experience with no loading times between levels. Fire up your console for online battles and choose from a variety of online modes including furious 4 player co-op action! ESRB Rated M for Mature.

 Give it a chance November 7, 2008
this game is decent. the story is ok and the gamplay is cool. the AI is stupid and they cuss stupidly. but oher than that the fact that you can to 4 player coop with friends online makes it quite fun. the visuals are not that great compared to Resistance 2 which is AMAZING! So id say just rent it or play it at your freinds house.
 HAZE = waste of time @ any price. October 29, 2008

I feel sorry for anyone who spent $59.99 on this game when it was released.
Not as awful as billed October 1, 2008
This game was ok, I had some fun with the Jungle levels. I would not call it a bad game. I think expectations were so high though that some people could not help but be disappointed by it. I don't think I would have been happy paying Full price on this game. But at 27.99 it was worth it. Some of the level design is unique and fun. The weapons feel good. I would say it is a bit short, but the multi-player has some fun aspects. The dialog leaves something to be desired and the character development was weak. Not much story really, but still there is fun to be had here at a decent price, just don't pay the full price and you won't be unhappy if you enjoy shooters. I do think it helped that I waited to buy until now as I see there have been several patches, the game runs smoother than the demo for sure.

To start with something nice, the game is fun. Unfortunately there are more negative aspects to the game that really bring it down.
First and foremost, the graphics are terrible. Not just that but they are inconsistant. Some textures will be pretty nice and others look like the developers just didn't care. The particle effects primarily in the smoke and fire are the worst I have seen in years. They are almost embarrassing.
The game isn't organized well, it seems to just shuffle you around from place to place without much of a purpose. Most of the time I spent either lost not knowing which path to take while hitting select regularly to remind myself of what I was doing.
The AI is awful. You can stand right next to enemies and they won't even see you.
Too easy. The Mantel soldiers are too easy to kill and at certain parts where you are told to hold off the Mantel "onslaught" turns into no more than shooting a couple guys. Some onslaught.
The weapons lack substance. I found myself using the Mantel and Promise Hand assault rifles most of the time. Certain areas are easier by using the rocket launcher but there never seems to be any reasoning with the placement or specific use of other weapons.
Last is the glitches. I have had lockups after check points and fellow Promise Hand soldiers firing at "invisible" enemy Mantel soldiers, hitting me and everyone else in the process.
They always say don't judge a book by its cover and this is one of those cases. The cover looks sweet. The game inside unfortunately is not.
For a PS3 Exclusive title, this game just does not deliver. Ubisoft and Free Radical should be embarrassed.
Average game in a crowded genre. July 19, 2008
Some of the critical reviews of this game are way too harsh. I'll admit that it is not on par with other FPS games on the market. I'll admit that I'd advise people against buying the game and point them towards renting it instead. But this is by no means a horrible game. It is simply an average game in a genre filled with superb titles.
The one thing that brings the game down, in my opinion, is the AI. Enemy AI, even on normal, is stupid. They tend to stand around and wait to be shot. Friendly AI for some reason puts your squad on suicide runs in front of your line of fire, blocking your view of the enemy and getting them killed.
Other than that one complaint regarding the AI, the game play is about average while the story is above average. Don't spend $60 at the store or $40 here. Rent the thing, have some fun over the weekend, and return it when you're done. After all, there are worse FPS on the market (Bioshock, anyone?).
