This review is going to be really short because I only played the game for like 2 hours...
ok at first when you start playing the game you are at day 17 or 18 .. when the city is completely out of control.. and you are really strong...
then after the taste of the game, you go to being really weak were you can get killed in only a few shots, or a single missle,
after the first mission you can get upgrades.. but these don't unlock very fast...
Fighting is most of the fun in the game,
(get the flying power up, and the silent consume ones as soon as they unlock, they are really useful)
(now that I think about it I should make a mirrors edge review.. it was one of the first games I rented)
basically you will go on missions.. just consuming someone or stealing a tank.. or bla bla bla...
boring stuff...
and usually you will get chased by strike teams (making it nearly impossible to get into tanks) and then those infected beasts (making it nearly impossible to kill either the helies or the infected things...)
and you will go on these big chases around the city fighting to survive (unlike in Left 4 Dead, where it is actually fun.).
So I quit. It got to the point where I had to force my self to play and was only able to do 1 mission at a time (if that, oh and if you save and quit half way through a mission, you have to restart the mission but you keep your powers and EP)
Graphics: 5 boring... the cut scenes are actually good though (for a game.. most games make 480P quality cut scenes at best)
Story: 6 the story is your infected and you want to know why, you have no memories and you don't care who you have to kill (sounds like a really bad south park episode) story is good.. but it doesn't really go anywhere with actual game play you just run around consuming people and....
Gameplay: 9/3 the running around town killing people is awesome, the fighting foot soldiers is awesome, but the second your fighting helicopters and things that can actually kill you your not so much of an antihero.. just a freak...
Other: a lot of the upgrades are cool... there are some side missions.. the city looks really nice at night (ya when you can hardly tell that a 2005 game had better graphics) (Manhattan is the city I believe)
Overall: 3.5 the game is worth a rent, but not right now with call of duty modern warfare 2, left 4 dead 2, and so many more games coming out...

one of the first things I did was run around killing people, its fun for a while, throwing cars, making chaos.. and that stuff.... fun for like 30 minutes..
The graphics are really boxy, and old...
We have games like Uncharted 2, and Metal Gears solid 4 on play station, and then Gears of war, Halo 3 (was good in 2007) and Fallout 3 (multi platform) on 360..
why can't these other games do it?
graphics are half the game....
the reason people go out and buy new games (that might not be good) instead of old ones (like oblivion, and Knights of the old republic) that you know are good, but graphics suck... is because almost no one cares if the game is good, (unless it sucks ridiculously), the graphics are half the game, and they usually come with really nice polished games (like call of duty 4, and uncharted 2)
Now just going around the town throwing cars at people is fun for a little while but gets old fast...
and the extra powers (what ever they are called, the spikes the hammer fist.. strength and some others) other then the claws... suck and should only be used for certain things (Strength for throwing cars at helicopters, and hammers for killing tanks..)
as soon as you get to the infection (where you actually fight it) the game goes really far down hill...
they can throw you around and they can go as fast as you... and its hard to fight more then one or two at a time...
the story is OK... its sort of like Mirrors edge (I don't really know how.. but I guess... everyone is after you, and you have a safe house..... you have to escape the cops and army ...ect...)

this is for overcareful parents..
there is a LOT of swearing, I'm not sure, but I think this is the most I've ever heard in a game, nothing really bad but they use all kinds of "army talk" (F*** this s*** were gonna die!!) (d*** what the h*** is that f****ng thing?) are examples
and the gore is pretty bad, but only when you use the blades (people get sliced in half and half's of body's lye all over the street...)
