 great game October 5, 2008
fun to play nice grafics,dont have the xbox so i allways wanted to try this game. Some of the reviews scared me off, But when ifound it on amazon for 14$ Ihad to get it so glad Idid only half way though dont like 3rd person so much but this game dose agreat job of it. game save is fine they come up rather quick. allso when you join games for windows you can talk to your friends on the 360 kinda cool! I youse a360 controler for this game just works beter for this game.
In one sentence September 24, 2008
Okay here is the main thing bout this game
This is a game that should be played in a XBox 360 console. Tried the PC version but it sucks not because of the game but just because of the fact that the game is not made for PCs.....
 Typical Console Port September 13, 2008
It was too difficult to play this game with the unresponsive controls. This console port to the PC has great possibilities. I bought it because of great reviews but was unable to play it. Perhaps the trouble can be blamed on the Vista-64 OS.
 Never going to buy another game from Microsoft Game Studios... September 11, 2008
I don't know how it is for the 360, but this game is garbage for PC. I can't adjust any display settings like anti-aliasing. The game is choppy on my laptop that can run CoD4 with no problems. Even with an overclocked GPU, this game takes long to load, and is not smooth.
The third person perspective sucks too, I had forgotten it was like that when I ordered it. You have to create a Windows Live account to save the game. I think this game is going in the trash and I'm going back to play CoD4.
Also, the developer did NOTHING to change this from the console version other than add a couple of levels, I believe.
Maybe if I was a console gamer I would accept the flaws of this game, but I am not, so I could not enjoy this game. DO NOT BUY!!!
 Awesome Game! September 6, 2008

I have had this game so far and I dont get tired of playing it, used to have problems with the first windows vista but now that I upgraded it to SP1 works like a charm, runs pretty smooth and I would totally recommend it for people who dont have a 360!
