One thing that you didn't mention is the ability to either crank up, or turn down the difficulty depending on how you want to play the game. It's still pretty hard even with everything like the hud and other popups on, but the real challenge is playing without any of them and with the difficulty turned all the way up. I personally have played better games, but i think this one deserves a look from anyone who wants something tactical like Socom on the 360. I think that this game was an attempt to make it more fun than Dragon Rising while trying to keep the realism factor there. I think it deserves better than a 6 as well, but you guys are the ones who write the reviews, not me.
Im not a fanboy of any of the consoles that are out right now,and i dont enjoy spam such as this, but honestly, haven't you seen any of the crysis 2 gameplay videos? It will probably look better than GOW III does on ps3, but the pc version will still look pretty good...
