your thoughts

well heres what i think:

Story: I love the story, its so over the top and far fetched, but thats what games are all about, if i wanted a real life simulator i would play the sims The story always has you on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next

Gameplay: So many ways to play! all the minigames are well incorporated and the main parts (running, shooting driving) work very well, the game is sufficiently challenging (i started on hard, and some gunfights had me restarting many many times)

Graphics: from afar they dont look that amazing, while the disasters are cool, they look like they could have been done on a ps2 with similar effects.. HOWEVER when the game zooms in on characters you notice alot of detail that is certainly far from last gen.

Sound: well the voice acting is terrible, but in a funny way... other sound effects, at first i wasnt impressed, but then i plugged in some surround sound headphones and... wow...

Overall:
LOVE IT! its a unique experience, very cinematic and totally original. I am mainly an fps gamer, but this was just so interesting i couldnt help but buy it, and i certainly do not regret it!
