A Big Fat 9 out of 10.
After reading this, it only makes me want the game even more. Challenging clever A.I, freedom-of-approach missions....it all sounds too good to be true. Can't wait.

Gamesradar Review in here.....
"I hope the A.I. really is improved over the preview build because I remember Shawn Elliot pointing that out as one of the biggest faults."this review says there are a couple of glitches with A.I. but otherwise the enemy is fast 'n' flankin' as soon as they see ya......
Surprised the map editor or the multiplayer wasn't mentioned :\

"Demilich said:Fire dies down quite quickly after the firefight is over from what I've heard."Minus the part where the fire becomes uncontainable and burns down half the country."Well you need to take some liberties with the translation. :P"
"Shawn said:I just looked at it as Facry 2 got a 9/10 single player experience."Surprised the map editor or the multiplayer wasn't mentioned :\ "I didn't read the review (not big on reading many reviews), but that is a bit surprising. You can take that as a positive because it's saying that the SP experience by itself warrants the score."
I really hope it stays that way when you throw in multiplayer
Im avoiding actually reading reviews for this since I want to be surprised at how everything actually works but the scores seem very good so far. I already have this completely paid off at gamestop and its one of the few games ive ever preordered. Should be great

hmm? what is that? i didnt hear anything about this. what comes with the limited edition and do i get that for free just for preordering?
"hmm? what is that? i didnt hear anything about this. what comes with the limited edition and do i get that for free just for preordering?"It's a Gamestop exclusive as far as I know...you can read it here. You get 6 bonus missions which are said to be 3 hours worth of gameplay...and a full-size fold-out map. It's not a real LE (thus the quotes), but you can't beat it for free.

that was a decent little promo video. I dont care much about the bonus missions since they will probaly be gamestop logo heavy and i would rather have the standard boxart without the big fat subtitle that says Gamestop Preorder Edition but that map would be so awesome to have! I'm guessing there isnt a real LE edition of this game though, just this version

Also, I don't think you're going to see GS billboards scattered throughout Africa.
