This game would've got five stars if if you didn't have to drive a third (or possibly more) of the game. Some of the things could have been left out like the fight scene with the monster fish and having to use a crane to get Dom across a gap. Mediocre campaign and multi-player, horde is a pretty cool added game mode.
What's great about it: Graphics, Storyline, New Weapons, Horde
What's not so great: Drive too many vehicles, Lame fights
