Incredible, fun game

I would like to add my comments to some of the reviews I've read on this site, which for the most part are accurate: The graphics surpass the state of the art, the gameplay is fun and engaging, the environment is expansive and free-roaming, the enemy AI is awesome and the tactical/strategy aspects are very well done. This is an incredible game, and for no reason should anyone deprive themselves of the opportunity to play it based on the criticisms laid out on Amazon.

The major complaint I read about here is the saving system. I actually don't mind it so much, and believe such systems are nice in many ways. They can help to avoid long and frequent load times, which in this case are only present when you first run the game. They also do force a bit of care on your part when playing. The only problem I have with it is you don't know when a save-game is coming, it just happens... and you could be hanging onto a mere shred of health. It would be nice to have the option to save now or save later at a checkpoint... that way you could at least attempt to bolster your health before your game is saved. This is an extremely minor problem with the game in my opinion, and it actually hasn't really detracted from my ability to enjoy it, it would just be a nice-to-have.
