I loved the open world of it, but the reason it drops down on my list is that it's action is horribly repetitive. You drive around with cars a lot and meet human guard posts with enemies that attack you relentlessly every 100 metres in a huge world. Let's say you kill all of them, drive 50 metres down the road away from the guard post - and then drive back .. all the enemies you just killed have respawned. Gods dammit.

Also you fight the same kind of people throughout the game. It's just non-stop of the same stuff over and over .. the rest of the game intrigues though, the story and the setting and the characters. It's weird that they made it so repetitive really.

Red Faction Guerilla, although a 3rd person shooter, suffers from the same problem.
