This game is definitely one of the best titles out there for this platform. Whether it's Single Player or Online Play, its great. It may take some practice to get used to shooting without aiming though (shooting around your cover, or the close range firefights with shotguns). Great graphics, great controls and techniques (the ability to move from cover to cover, playing grenade tag, etc.), good story. All in all, it's a must-buy for people that love the shooter genre.
What's great about it: Fun for both Single and Multiplayer Modes
