Okay, the graphics are really nice, the campaign is okay but repetitive, but the gameplay is B O R I N G. For every hour in front of the screen you'll spend 20 minutes watching useless cutscenes. In story mode you'll spend another 20 minutes holding the Forward button while following someone ride or walk thru the landscape, which is bad enough, but they won't stop TALKING! It's like a Tarantino movie with endless stupid dialog. Once you actually get to play the game you'll find the controls are clunky and inconsistent, so you have to constantly watch the tips to see which key to use and then figure out if you need to tap it or hold it down. Then there are the little eccentricities like picking a spot to camp and waking up some random place a mile away, or dying and respawning in another far away random spot. And the "fast travel" mode that makes you spend what seems like 5 minutes to set up camp, pick a destination and watch another string of cutscenes before you get anywhere. I mean, really, the graphics are not THAT good.
