yeah, i'm not gonna sugar coat it... this game is fuckin awesome. once you play through the first few levels, then hop online (where i am at the moment) the controls feel organic, natural, almost instinctual. for most of the time i was playing, i felt completely immersed; right up until i got nailed by a sniper. i gotta hand it to the dev team at ubisoft, whenever you die and spawn back in, the enemies aren't always in the same place they were before. it keeps you on your toes, frosty. the game looks beautiful, with a spectacular draw distance (online a sniper on one end of the junkyard level can peck off the other team as they spawn... yikes!). i really don't have any gripes with this game. the online play is the best on 360 yet (minimal lag, no disconnects so far) and i haven't run into any annoying little kids either. the game is solid, pretty, and most definitely next gen. it was worth the wait, and of all the games on the 360 so far, ghost recon 3 is the most worthy or your hard earned sixty.

verdict: 9.5/10; if you're going to buy two 360 titles, make it this one and burnout.
