I am about halfway through the game and it's not as good as I expected. I am playing on hardcore difficulty and it's not very challenging at all. I have only replayed one or two missions. There are alot of glitches in this game. The driving isn't very realistic and money isn't really a problem. after about 2 hours of playing I could basically buy anything I wanted. The storyline is good and overall the game is ok. It is worth renting but not buying.
What's great about it: Good storyline, alright gameplay
What's not so great: Alot of glitches, not very challenging

I've only played the beta version but if the single player is good then this will be a great game. I liked the graphics and the multiplayer was very fun. I think that the controls are a little to similar to COD 4 but overall I think this game will be a must buy.
What's great about it: Good graphics and fun to play
