Awesome single player leading to fantastic Multi-player.

Of course there are tons of reviews on the gaming sites But as I was recently surprised to find a review of a game here on IMDB I felt compelled to put my two cents in on this work of art.

I am a 38 year old PC gamer with the reflexes to show it. That said I also have the depth of thought that may be more common in that age neiborhood as well. This game while taking you bye the hand and leading you gemtelly into it, realy kicks into high gear after the fourth mission of each of the four campains. It goes from ok to enthrawling right about then. At least that has been the case with the first two campains. But just drop yourself into a multi-playerfor about 30 minutes and you have a differant beast entirely. God awfully intrancing. And when you get your rear chewed off you can save the replay and watch not only your play in slow or fast motion but from the perspective of all the players that kicked your assets. So you end up with deep fast learning all around. So even loosing is fun.

Notice I referred to this peice as art. I wasn't only talking about the 3-D or the artificial intelligence, the voice talents are top notch. This is money well spent. User created singleplayer and more importantly muti-player action will be going strong on this title for several years to come.
