5.0 out of 5 stars Stick with it, 31 Jan 2010
By Mr. S. Burgess "Steve" (Hereford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Having bought this about the same time as CoD World at War I dropped it after a few goes and enjoyed the more accessible game play of World at War. That lasted for a while until I realised that there isn't any real progression in World at War and that once you've esperienced the quick hit it doesn't real go anywhere other than variation in locations. So I had another pop at Dragon Rising. Well worth the return. After settling into the tempo and feel of the game its immensely more rewarding. This is nearer simulation than the other shooters, but planning, stealth and decisive action are rewarded and make for a truly immersive gameplaying experience. This is the type of game you will happily replay stages just to explore alternative ways of meeting your objectives.
Only 4 out of 5 for fun because it is gruelling and intense and not for the casuals but 5 out 5 overall.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than COD MW2!, 22 Feb 2010
By Je Salter (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I saw this on the shelf and thought I'd give it a go after reading a very positive review in XBox monthly. After being thoroughly disappointed with COD MW2, I was glad I did.

To get anywhere in this game you have to use tactics which wasnt true of MW2. I found that to be a shoot em up with no tactics except 'shoot a lot and you will finish the game.' Not only that, it was completed within hours (and I wouldnt class myself as a gaming pro).

Flashpoint is a much more grown up game and if you dont think, you wont get anywhere. The only thing that I found let this down (a little) was the graphics in regard to the overall gaming picture, it was a slighlty grayish feel and not true to life. Oh and the difficulty in actually targeting the bad guys (in this case the Chinese). GRAW &GRAW2 were better in this respect. That being said though the game more tham made up for it.

The missions were good and varied and so were the array of weapons, weapons systems and vehicles to jump aboard. If you like a good tactical game with lots of killing to be done and you've got the cash, I'd recommend you buy Flashpoint, its a quality game to add to the collection!

3.0 out of 5 stars Wait and see if they fix it, 23 Oct 2009
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Dont rush to buy this game yet.

As many of the reviewers have mentioned, it is a decent game, but it is not finished.

As things stand, 2 weeks after release, the multiplayer doesnt work on XBL, it took codemasters a week to admit this, and the latest is 'we arent sure why it doesnt work, but are looking into it'. At the moment if you are lucky enough to get into a game, or if you set up a private game, there are only 2 maps on each of the 2 game types.

Thats ok in itself, but there are a lot of flaws in the single player game. It is a decent game if you can put up with some flaws, but IMO it is not a patch on the original on PC, a bit of a shame when they have had 10 years or so to work on this!

Graphics are decent, but not jaw dropping. Personally i am more concerned with the gameplay than the looks, but the dodgy AI, moody save system which doesnt always work, 101 bugs and glitches etc etc etc take the shine off what could and should have been the game of the year. Very short also, took me less than 8 hours on normal difficulty, and I wasnt rushing, im sure others have done it in 5-6. One other plus, the sound is very good.

This game appears to have been rushed out to beat COD by a few weeks and boost sales. I would have preferred them to wait until it was finished.

Have a look on the codemasters forums before buying. It seems they are working on a patch to fix some of the many bugs and get multiplayer working. They also intend releasing some dlc in the next couple of weeks. Wait and see if it does actually get fixed before purchasing or the chances are you will be as frustrated as the majority of people who bought it on release. Good chance the price will be back below £30 as well by the time it is worth buying.

Ps - google operation flashpoint 2 mission codes, and the 6 retailer codes for the extra missions are freely available. I finished all 6 in 45-60 mins or so, but hey they are free!
