Played the original game on the PC and was incredibly satisfied on how the game worked got it for the 360 and enjoying the graphics and a couple different details. I won't go into much but the game isn't like COD or BF - call of duty , battlefield in case you don't know the abbreviations.

Epic Game, intense battles with great realism, a little easier to complete than draggon rising, good for achievements you can pick up about 720 just from one play through

Now I play lots of fps's most of my game collection is COD Halo and Battlefield. I bought this game after being dissapointed with the complete lack of teamwork and realism for battlefield 3, and this game will not dissapoint. Its amazing, the graphics, unlike what everyone says, are just fine.

Despite what Edwin Starr would have you believe; war (huh!) is in fact pretty good for inspiring all sorts of entertainment media. For every Oscar winning movie on the subject there is now a BAFTA award winning video game all based around the various awful conflicts that have plagued humanity since...

In conclusion, Operation Flashpoint: Red River does what it says on the cover. This leans more towards the more realistic aspects of war, which isn't about running through swarms of enemies and hiding behind cover as you magically regenerate health.

I chose 4 stars because there is no "out of 10" rating, as i would give it a 6.5, after reading reviews of this game for myself i was excited to purchase it, then again actually playing is a different story.
