I read many reviews for this game, so I was curious but hesitant. I knew the concerns going in, so I opted to rent the game. I rented the game on Sunday night, and am a little bit more than half way through the game now. I am enjoying it so far. I admit that the gameplay is repetitive in a sense. The gameplay is broken up by the extraordinarily large assaults of cities. I did notice some lag during the later assaults of the bigger compounds. If I had to give a rating I would give it a 7, and a replay score of 6..
