Any shooter that dares show its face these days gets a bashing from the Call Of Duty brigade.
I have seen the same thing happening with this latest title from THQ.
In my opinion that's quite unfair but not entirely unexpected. This may not be a ground-breaking shooter, but it is very cinematic and evocative to play.
True, it has an almost criminally short single player mode and the multiplayer mode isn't as good as COD, but on the same count neither of these make it unworthy of a play through.
I wasn't blown away by the graphics but I did enjoy the campaign mode and I thought the multiplayer mode online was well thought out and very playable.
On the whole, though, aside from the graphics and short campaign, it's hard to pick fault.
