Graphics wise, Shadow Ops is a mixed bag. At times the textures seem clean, and extremely lush, others they muddy together. But the real problem is the frame rate, which is just horrible at times. And loading is another headache, along with some glitches that seem to be associated with disc access/loading.
Control is actualy good, when the frame rate keeps up with the action, the guns all have scope capability. You can't pick up other enemy's guns, which really sucks actually. And ammo for your weapon can get very scare in a heated battle. And some missions are based on limited ammo, and advise you to use strategy. Basically make your enemy spend all their ammo, then move in for the kill. You get alot of controller set-up options, so you can customize how you want the button scheme.
Sound is just amazing! Probably the saving grace of this title, you actually feel like you're in a movie! Or in a real battlefield for that matter, with ambience from enemys, nature, explosions, echos from your teammates holloring out orders, etc.
The overall mission based theme of this game is just too A - B. At times the action has a more furious arcade flavor, but then sometimes it takes on a more 'medal of honor', type of gameplay.
With so many FPSes out there, it's getting hard to be original. Shadow Ops seems to be similar to Fugitive Hunter on the PS2, but just not as fun. Better off to wait for DOOM 3, or Area 51.
