Fun finally having superior firepower. Yes, you do have to aim quickly, as the enemy swarms you; but, that's part of the fun of the game. You can't just shoot, because they pop up all over, so you have to shoot and acquire targets as you're shooting. The enemy AI isn't all that brilliant, but I wasn't looking for a simulation-type gaming experience. I just liked to hear my SGT. say "Mount In", so I could take position and start mowing them down. You shoot from vehicles, copters and the ground mounted positions. You do have to get used to the aiming, as in the close quartes fighting, you actually appear to be sniping :-). Also, the terrain over which you fight varies.
I only had one problem: being physically disabled with limited manual dexterity, I wasn't able to crouch in the game(... no toggle feature). Had to fight standing up. Which made certain missions tougher than they should have been.

I bought this game thinking it would be cool because of the front cover and the back of it. But when you play it it impossible to kill anyone accept if you shoot every where and get lucky and hit some 1. Its real hard to control too.
