GRAW wasn't in my 'must get' list at first, but with all the praising here I decided to get it. It's a good game as such, but I feel it doesn't live up to the hype.
1) Framerate variess from acceptable to downright sluggy. It's OK in normal game, but on bigger showdowns with vehicles and enemy running around and some smoke grenades makes the framerate appalling. It's even worse in the snipe mode.
2) Low-res textures. Sure, it's a big city, but the paths where the action takes place should've been upgraded with sharper textures. Every brick wall you lean on look very smudged.
3) Some Xbox character models. I mean, just look at the presidents.
4) Tunnel running. Sure, it's a two-block tunnel, but every movement is still very restricted, you can't go where you want. I would've loved to take different approaches to fights by suprising the enemy by climbing to a roof, going around them and hitting their squad from behind etc
5) Average four min wait in MP lobbies is too much.
6) No any next-gen AI here. They seek for cover nicely, but I still see enemies trying to run to me trough a fence
Plus sides:
1) Well planned and well balanced game, rambo tactics don't apply here
2) The main characters have hi-res textures and are nicely modeled and animated
3) While there are some obvious shortcomings in some graphical aspects, it still is the best looking x360 game out there.
My verdict: 8.5/10
