The game is really just one of those where it is made for people to run around crazy while shooting. If you like games like this then this game is for you. My biggest problem with the game is that without any challenge or skill needed the game becomes boring in very little time. I do like the price at Best Buy thought!!!!!
What's great about it: The game is good when it comes to the picture and the responsivness. It goes up to 1080p if your tv does support that.
What's not so great: The game is not tactical nor does it take any planning to play. It is more of a game where people run around like crazy.
