Graphics:
Awesome use of lighting effects and use of colors give a "dark feel" to the game. Some of the graphics could be smoothed out, but its hardly even worth mentioning or trying to come up with flaws in graphics. This game boasts arguably one of the best graphic displays in a game.
Music:
The musical score was great. The music was intense. It fits the mood perfectly all the time. Some of 'em are worth buying the soundtrack for. I'd say it's a flawless track.
Sound:
The explosions and sound effects were good. And they were realistic for once! The guns don't go *pop*, they sound like guns. The extra effort pulled through Konami!
Control:
I loved it. It's incredibly responsive. Some say it's better with analog, but I have no complaints at all.
Fun Factor:
Do you have to ask? This game was made fun. The storyline is immersive. It's as fun as watching a really good movie, but better, because you control the hero.
Replay Value:
There's just too much to try out with all the weapons you get. The difficulty modes change things in the story, not just the difficulty. Like in extreme mode, its so realistic, bullets nearly kill and you have no radar, etc.
Length:
If you know where to go, the game lasts about 4 hours. In other words, it's too damn short!!! I need it longer!!!
Storyline:
It's better than most movies I know. It's sad, funny, damn good.
Creativity:
It created a new genre, 'nuff said.
Difficulty:
The difficulty is variable, so it is easy enough for the beginner, yet it can be challenging enough for the expert.
