  1. A high-octane, gun-slinging killfest the likes of which even General George S. Patton would be proud. [Mar 2002, p.87]
  2. Ever had a mob of screaming soccer hooligans coming right at ya? No? Good for you. But if you ever wanted that to happen, this is the closest you can get to it without spending two months in traction!
  3. The environment also effects the difficulty of combat, and the developers have used the engine to it’s fullest in this regard, giving you plenty of crazy battle sites which definitely add to the playability and fun factor of the game.
  4. 40
    Given that all you're doing is shooting everything around you, it's almost essential to give the player a continual sense of progress and achievement by opening up new locales frequently. Otherwise the whole exercise collapses under its own redundancy.

  3. Disfrute bastante la primera entrega, y este tambien lo disfrute mucho, mas armas, mas enemigos, muchos mas niveles, mas ambientaciones en vez de solo egipto, y mas humor! Extremadamente recomendable Expand
  4. Algo que quedó demostrado con Sam es que no es el mejor personaje de la industria y nunca va a serlo... Y no le importa. Lo bueno de la saga es que no se preocupa en crear cosas rebuscadas, y pone solo los ingredientes que te garanticen un buen rato. Expand
