Cool explosions, great graphics and exciting gameplay makes this action/shooter more fun to play then you may think.

-The gameplay is terrific. If you can see it, you can sure as hell shoot it, the entire environment is totally destructible. The explosions are large, detailed and realistic, which makes for an even better experience. Even shooting and handling the variety of guns is awesome, the recoil is practical and with the controller vibrating it makes it more intense. Also, the sight in the center of the screen is less annoying then the bigger ones, and fits the game well.

-Shooting at enemies can be really fun also, they fall over stuff and take the hit hard when your bullet strikes them; some even get up off of the ground and proceed to attack again even after you shoot them. Your comrades, on the other, hand can be a little slow in following you, sometimes clipping walls/doors/etc. or standing out in the open taking enemy fire. But overall, they seem to always catch up and assist you when possible.

-The destructibility of objects in the game is quite fun and addictive, it doesn't have as powerful a physics engine as some of newer games today, but it will not fail to give you a satisfying thrill. The graphics have a crisp feel to them, and the brightness of the color is just right. And a gritty atmosphere makes shooting glass out of windows, blowing stuff up and laying rounds down on an enemy that much more fun.
Detail is worthy of mention as well: individual pieces of glass/debris, bullet holes in walls/cars/etc. and an outstanding arrangement of weapons are the signature of this game.

-The game works perfectly with the Xbox & Xbox 360, in fact I would recommend buying it even if you have a newer system, the experience is to rich to be missed; the game will not disappoint.
