It's a shining diamond covered in poo.
I've finished it at least four times.
The most irritating things in it in my opinion is the lack of enemy and mission variation, the atrocious consolish guns and the drudgery of running/driving around in the same manner all the time.

The AK-47 is downright pitiful, with the bolt disappearing while unjamming it and it's the most prominent example of the RATATATATATAT firearm audio design oversight, and by that i mean it has one firing sound, which sounds like some kind of industrial stamping machine, with no echo whatsoever.

The cars handle like magically propelled bricks which has an arbitrary explosion after full stop - crashing into small twigs too much.

Only real reason i keep playing it is the wonderful ambience and themes.

Thanks for the input. After much thought I've decided to try the game again.

Whatever I feel towards it a second time, it won't be that huge of a loss for me. I found a copy on Amazon almost new for $9 and I'll be paying for it using the credit I got trading in a bunch of books I got at yard-sales for pennies. So again, no huge loss.

Don't buy it again. I made the stupid choice of buying it twice (360 and PC, respectively, but the latter was because of an Ubisoft sale) and regardless of platform, the game is dull. Everything looks like it was dusted with cocoa powder, traveling around was more of a chore than it needed to be, and I have gotten sick of all the checkpoints. The game is pure shit, plain and simple.
