I really enjoyed this game more than I thought I would. I prefer more FPS and less RPG. This was pretty good even with the minimal amount of collecting all kinds of stuff required to upgrade yourself and your weapons and car. At least I didn't have to pick intelligence and karma and strength and charisma and crap like that. I want to battle and shoot! The driving was ok also even though if I wanted a driving game I would get a driving game. There wasn't too much of it , unless you wanted it, then there was plenty, but I just did the minimal needed to get on with the game. Had to do a bit of configuring (like most games now days) to minimize the texture pop-ins and increase FOV and stuff like that, but not really any more than any newer game. From what I read pop-ins have pretty much always been and always will be a problem with this game but it wasn't too bad once I got rid of most of it and I never really noticed it too much or thought about it much after that. It didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. The FPS missions/levels were good with fairly well balanced combat and ways to approach getting the job done. I usually play most games on NORMAL but this game I played on HARD which gave a little more challenge and helped make the game last longer rather than just rushing through. There is a quick save which is great! NO checkpoint crap that you have to make it to or reapeat the whole thing. Overall I would recommend this game.

This game is/was slightly underrated. It has beautiful graphics (sometimes it´s just fun to explore the game world itself) and solid gameplay. The problem is, that the game is very short and seems like unfinished and rushed. Otherwise the game had a lot of potencial.

Pros:
- great graphics, even now (game was released in 2011), wonderfull world
- smooth gameplay and combat, good responsive weapons
- buggy traveling and racing
- collectible cards and card minigame

Cons:
- very short
- strange/easy last fight
- in many cases the game seems unfinished, looks like developers had many other things in plan but then left them behind
