Advantages: You get a fancy tin
Disadvantages: The fancy tin is the only advantage.

This was the first game I purchased for my Xbox 360, and along witht he actual console being unreliable, this game contributed to me eventually returning both game and cosole to the store. I played this on a brand new LCD HD tv, and expected amazing graphics. I got them, although 100x darker than I would have liked. The only thing that makes this game playable is the graphics, and after a few hours of play you realize they aren't actually that pretty. ... Read review

Graphically it rocks, if not expected. It is without doubt in my own opinion, the best graphical game on the ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics are out of this world
