Looks decent. Plan on renting it soon. There' s just something about the character models (and the main guy looking like a dork) that turns me off.

Glad that dudes turn you off. Anyway, I rented it and it was ok. Not Halo of FF calibur, but enjoyable. My opinion is 8/10.

I never liked the first one much, it was TO open and free and I just wasn' t in the mood for it. Sometimes I just like to follow a game without having to worry about missing chunks.

I' m actually set to do the review of this game (coming very soon).

I like it a lot, but there are a few issues that are tough to overlook-

Firstly, there is a SEVERE framerate problem during fast-action situations. The game will completely freeze sometimes when up close and personal during battle. Secondly, the load times are atrocious for a system that once actually advertised " no load times." The XBox version apparently can' t handle this port as well as people wanted it to.

Thirdly and finally, there is basically no reason to use any weapon but the Sniper Rifle. Ever. The Mag Rail is useful with its EMP shot, but you could probably get through the entire game without using a single other weapon (once the Sniper Rifle is acquired, of course). This isn' t really a problem, ' cuz I LIKE to snipe, but it' s just a tad unbalanced.

However, the game is still fun to play, and made well, just like the original. Much of the fun revolves around the optional missions to undertake, and who you want to side with (WTO vs. The Order). I really enjoy myself a lot playing this game, despite the technical difficulties, and FYI, Bot Domination RULES. ;)
