48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Let's start with the good ones: The graphics okay, but what really impressed me, was the landscape.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lots of action in a big game world with many weapons and vehicles, and a story to give it purpose.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay has thrilling highs and extremely frustrating lows; the islands are densely packed with well-detailed vegetation and foliage, but the FMV cutscenes are grainy and ugly; the flamenco soundtrack does wonders to accentuate the action, but the voice acting is hilariously bad.
