| Summary: A very enjoyable game
85
This is a fabulous game, maybe the best for PSP. You are a soldier who goes on high risk missions with your partner Lonestar, who is your inferior.
Graphics - 90
The graphics are almost perfect apart from when you're right on top of an enemy, where the camera gets a bit confused. The human details are excellent, and so are the backgrounds.
Gameplay - 100
There are loads of weapons (from rifles to knives) which all sound different and other gadgets like your camera and grenades. The levels are very detailed, and you can explore a huge area, which you need to do in some leves, in lots of detail.
The interaction with Lonestar is very good, although he isn't the brightest bulb in the world, and you can't rely on him to get you out of trouble. He can be used for manouevres like setting charges, breaching doors (chucking flash bangs and grenades in to put off the enemy) and other neat stuff. All these actions can be controlled by pressing the circle button and then selecting them.
The camera is in default third person view (which is where I like it) but can be changed in game. You control your character with the analog stick, which if your're used to, is very easy. Overall the controls are good
Playability - 90
I wouldn't say this is a pick up and play game, as some parts are quite complicated to master, but when you're more experienced it becomes easier. One of the frustrating things that keeps you baying for more is the fact that when you - or LONESTAR (see top of review) - are killed, you have to go back to the begining of the level. However, you rarely die as you lose your live quite slowly.
Load Times - 80
In general the levels take 15-20 seconds to load.
Sound - 80
All the weapons have different sounds and there is appropriatly corny music for the menus.
Length/Depth - 60 or 70
There is a quick play mode, where you can jump into a mission with objectives that you can choose yourself and a chosen difficulty level. There is a campaign mode where you and Lonestar go to 4 different places around the world. There is roughly 4 sub levels in each place. This however, does NOT last very long on easy difficulty (around 10 hours for a newbie). There are also Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc multiplayer modes, which are supposed to be very good but I have not tried (I'm engrosed in 100% the game first). There are some unlockable extras like multiplayer characters, weapons and introduction videos which lengthen your immense enjoyment of the game.
Value - 90
Overall, excellent value for money, especially if you have the headset which you can get and multiplayer. The single player is worth the money but just a bit to short.
