    Operation Flashpoint: Red River isn't the most accessible military FPS game out there, but it certainly is one of the most realistic you'll find on the console if you're up for the challenge. Obviously, sim purists will want to play on the PC where sharper graphics and finer mouse controls will prevail, but mission for mission, and for overall gameplay, both solo and co-op, Red River is a great ride for those with the tactical precision and patience to play.

    Friends of tactical shooters, who like to play online, will love Red River. Despite its dated technology, it delivers atmosphere.

    Ultimately, you have to admire Red River for at least attempting something with such a unique sense of character.

    An extremely underrated game. It does just about everything well. The missions are much more fun and definitely easier than OF: Dragon Rising. I don't know how anyone could think that this game is too hard. If anything, it is a little too easy at times. This game manages to avoid all of those really frustrating encounters a la Dragon Rising and provide the player with a constantly exciting and enjoyable experience. Almost every single mission is fun. The ability to customize one's weapon kits with various scopes etc. is what the tactical shooter market needs, and this game does it better than any console game yet. No one who is seriously reviewing this game could possibly give it less than 7 or 8 stars, unless they are delusional.… Expand

    Honestly this game is trying hard but comes up short, the feel is much more "real" military feel to it (I was in the military myself so.....) Lot of agnst and trash talking about what's going on (spot on) Two bullets kill you, yea pretty much :) No need to cry about it. However.......the controls are lacking and aiming down the sight is not as smooth as it should be, Attackers are far to brazen with no fear, your squads are blockheads and it is honestly every man for himself.....very unrealistic. still not bad but not great either. Worth picking up cheap.… Expand

    Rubbish. Was really looking forward to this too. Loved the other games. BUT- The whole thing is on rails so you are very much forced into combat- theres no hiking around to attack from another angle. The enemy is DUMB- They will pretty much stand and shoot no matter what you do. Your own guys are DUMB so it is kind of like you have taken a bunch of retarded soldiers into a war zone. I've been on a truck and one AI won't board so we had to walk out and cap him. NO JUMP. Sorry I will say that again. NO JUMP. This means you can be wandering through a town and someone will open up on you and you cant get over some 4ft wall next to you- You have to thread your way all around while you are being shot at. This last one is the saddest. Seriously. Who thought of this one. To be honest, I saw a lot of negative reviews of this game when it first came out and I was all with that- Then I come here months later and I see all these high user reviews? Im suspicious.… Expand
