- “[Brief, underwhelming single-player campaign, CGI cutscenes that look worse than the game's visual engine, cliched plot that does nothing new.]”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the single-player campaign frustrating due to glitches and a lack of engaging mechanics, while others appreciate the high-octane action reminiscent of movies.

- “Graphics are excellent and gameplay is fun and runs smoothly.”
- “[Frenetic and fun multiplayer modes, expanded multiplayer class system, co-op oriented fireteam mechanic].”
- “I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but I've started playing the single-player campaign and I am not impressed so far. I am stuck on the easy level, yes the easy level. The game seems to have a lot of glitches, making the single gameplay frustrating. Is my PS3 system crashing all the time?”
- “The gameplay is awful, glitch-ridden (floating weapons, doors you can walk through, etc.) and most of the weapons are samey when firing.”
- “The numerous cut scenes are boring at best and add little, if anything, to the campaign and at times detract from the overall gameplay.”
