There are just so many other, games that do it better. I evaluated it from the standpoint of "wow, I only payed ten bucks for this", and from that perspective it's quite good. I didn't get anywhere near 20 hours into it though. The game started feeling a bit repetitive after about 8 or so, but it was still worthwhile and something I'll go back to. I agree about the motorcycle (for the most part), the maps aren't well suited to even using it. On the other hand there are times when its nice to blast past the bad guys on the way toward a destination. I went back and watched Mack's review of this when it first came out. Most of the reasons he trashed it (like keybinding issues) I think were problems at release that have been worked out by now. It still has bugs, but nothing like the reviews right after release portray. All in all a nice game for ten bucks. I'm pretty sure I'll never complete it unless maybe someone here tells me the gameplay changes dramatically after then 10 hour mark. I just have this feeling that I've already seen all the game has to offer.
