...is a very good game.
I am a big fan of the first two games and I was a bit worried if they had ruined it with all the new developers and all. But this game is very well done. I just played the first Part of the game in one sitting and found it very hard to stop ("i'll just see what is in the next room").
Shooting is fun, guns seem powerful, the game rewards accurate head shots. The environment is interactive. The narrative style is different, but I like it. The story is a nice continuation to the story from previous games. The game has a nice challenge too, there is a constant lack of ammo and painkillers (unlike the first game where you always seem to have full everything). The new weapon system adds it's own challenge because you can only carry 2 1-handed weapons and one 2-handed weapon, but at least it has a realism reason and it's not an arbitrary limitation like in most other games.
The only gripes I have are the cover system, which seems a bit unnecessary. I mean some situations you need it, but it's a bit clunky and even though every other FPS has it these days it wasn't really necessary to have it. And some cut scenes also throw you directly at front of the enemies with no cover, which can be a bit annoying if you are low on health.
