I've been playing this game off and on, and all I can say is if this
one goes on sale for $10 again, grab it!  I realize the sale price is
a big reason I like it, so I would definitely wait for a sale, but I
think if you like this type of game even at $15 it would still be a
must-buy.

It's not the greatest game ever made, but an open Cryengine shooter
with a cool plot/premise is rarely available for ten bucks so soon
after original release date is pretty rare.  

It's not without flaws.  I'm enjoying the trek through the battered
city, but there are places where you see textures you've seen before,
and it gives a sense of deja vu that reminds you not to expect the
detail of a real city.  And of course, plenty of doors are unopenable,
like most of these games, so it tries to give the illusion of "go
anywhere" without really pulling it off.  But there is still a pretty
big world and no shortage of areas you can go.

Although it might seem similar to the increasingly tiresome Far Cry
format when the features are described or listed on paper, I think it
actually feels different enough when actually played.

Try it on the next 75% off sale, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
Ignore all the bad press it got upon release and approach it with an
open mind, they've fixed much sense then.  Just get a refund if you
really think its not worth $10.
