Decent enough game that is let down by the fact that it's totally broken. You'd better finish missions on your first try or else chances are that you will replay the whole mission. When restarting from a checkpoint the game will sometimes get forever stuck 'Waiting for other players'. Well, there are no other players to wait for since this happens when you're playing the single player. After finishing a mission the game may also simply crash, luckily then you'll still maintain your progress and can proceed to the next mission. Several times I also began a mission with no plane to control. I could still control the camera but the plane wasn't visible from the outside view. Cockpit view showed as intended but the plane still couldn't be controlled. Quitting back to menu from situation like this usually simply caused the game to freeze. Gameplay wise the game is nice enough arcade flying game. There is absolutely no realism to the flying. Even the stall recovery works completely backwards: In order to recover from a stall you have to pull your nose up to level the plane. This caused some major confusion for me during the stall tutorial, as by instinct I was pushing the nose down to gain speed yet the plane kept stalling on and on. The easiest (normal) difficulty can be surprisingly challenging at times. Glad the game wasn't any longer as I probably couldn't have taken the constant freezing and killing the game process much longer.

I've played the previous games in the series and this is so far my favorite of them all. This game is frustrating, fun and addictive at the same time. The game can be frustrating at first since especially the hard and extreme tracks are really tough for someone who can't play the game. Later on if you keep playing it's nice to notice that you can actually get gold medals on hard tracks that you could barely even complete earlier. If you are, however tired of the series then this game won't really offer you much of anything new. The FMX tracks are a new addition to the series but they aren't that numerous and not my favorite type of track in any case.

OK action/stealth game. Way overrated by the critic reviews in my opinion. The game doesn't really bring anything new to the genre, the story is OK at best and the graphics are a bit so so at times.

If you liked Burnout Paradise then chances are that you'll like this game too. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is basically Burnout paradise with Need for Speed name, real cars and slightly different game modes. The biggest downside of the game is that it's quite buggy, especially the multiplayer.

Fancy graphics but pretty much nothing more. Just another linear shooter where you have absolutely no choice on the route that you take. Original Crysis and Crysis Warhead were far better games.

Game play wise it's a really great game. It's however brought down by the fact that it has a ton of technical issues. The longer you continue your game for the more buggy the game becomes. Towards the end of the game for me it was pretty much 50/50 chance on every loading screen that the game would freeze the whole system.

Great atmosphere and rather interesting story however the story only gets interesting at the really end, before that it's OK though. Game has one major flaw though: you cannot save on your own. At worst I played for over half an hour to reach the next checkpoint even though I had wanted to quit a long time ago.

The game itself may be good but it simply has way too many technical issues (really poor PC port). To start with: if you enable v-sync you'll be capped at 30 fps no matter what your refresh rate. Of course you can disable v-sync but then you'll get horrible tearing. Also the frame rate is really inconsistent even with v-sync off even on hardware that's way more powerful than the game requires.

This is a great "game" if you like watching a ton of cut-scenes and then walking few meters while going for the next cut-scene. Literally at worst after one cut-scene you'll walk down a stairway just to watch another one. I'm really glad I bought this game for cheap from a Steam sale. Such a same though since I really liked the original Max Payne games made by Remedy. Personally for me even the story isn't as interesting as in the previous games which makes the long cut-scenes even more tedious. On a positive note the game works OK and game play wise (shooting etc.) it plays quite similarly to the old Max Payne games.
