My family (dad and bro) really enjoy this game. While not too complex in story line the graphics are good and the twist for thermal energy is unique. I've read the reviews that gave this game 1 stars, and their main complaint is the thermal energy. Frankly, this game was easy enough on normal not to worry too much about thermal, and I thought it really made this game special. Although needing this thermal in volcanoes or indoors doesn't make too much sense, it does when you're out there in the freezing cold; you need something to keep you warm! Anyway, I enjoyed this game, and the only real complaints are the story line and cheesy cut scenes. Other than that, if you like 3rd person shooters and a nice game to play, this is your pick!
