Cheap Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising


If you're looking for a FPS game that goes beyond the cartoon play of running over the enemy with vehicles, sniping from 3 feet away, and running away from grenades every 7 seconds, then this game is for you. It's a first attempt at real warfare game play. It has nested menus of all types of commands. It allows for gunner, pilot, commander posts in all the vehicles. There's a lot to it.

Two big drawbacks.

1) In campaign mode, there's bizarre time constraints that just don't fit in with any of the game play. You'll spend 15 minutes taking an enemy position, executing commands and repositioning troops and such, and then suddenly there will be a 2 minute requirement to do something, and if you miss it -- and you will -- the mission will end in failure, and you'll have to start all over again.

2.) In Xbox live, competition mode, you're luck to find ANYONE playing, and when you do, its a matter of finding their AI players and just mowing them down over and over again until you win. They do nothing but amass in herds and just stand there for your target practice.

I'm looking forward to this type of game becoming more popular and improving, but it needs work.Get more detail about Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.
