I was in the beta which was awesome, but being mostly a multiplayer online type guy the demo of campaign was quite engaging. I forgot just beautiful his game is.
It truly feels next gen to me. Everything that looks like it can explode does, nothing is there just for the sake of looks, every gas can, barrel, gas tank has a function. And if you blow these up not only are the effects top notch, but they effect bodies, and any other thing lying by it.
The blood of course is awesome, the enemies are intelligent finally, they flank, hide, duck, and do things humans would do. I was amazed at shooting an enemy from a hundred yards away the blood splatters could still be seen on the wall behind him when he fell. Matters react as they would in real life as bullets effect stone much different than they effect say metal.
I love how real, grounded, and gritty this game feels and plays. Another gem to add to the crown of the PS3 library for sure. This will sell consoles.
