Rating: - I'm going to comment on the single player version
What a spectacular game! I haven't enjoyed a single player combat experience this much probably ever, and I've played them all. The story was engrossing (and timely), the weapons are awesome, usable, predictable, and accurate enough to not be frustrating.
As many have mentioned, the single player campaign, divided into 8 chapters, is quite short. You can get through it in maybe 8-10 hours. But what an awesome 8-10 hours. I would have been cranky if I paid fifty bucks for an 8 ... Read More
Rating: - this game is SecuRom protected..careful if you buy it used
i bought this game used here, it turns out it is Protected by a security program. you may not be able to play it on your computer. it apparently can only be played on 3 different computers then no more..end of story
i downloaded the game.. 11Gb then the patches.. couple more Gigs, and then get a message "Wrong Disc", i go to the link, I'm told to do a security analysis, Rt click the Icon, zip-it and send it too them. I'm still waiting after 1 nonsense response.
Rating: - A single player perspective
I play games mostly in single player mode, so this review is from that perspective. I played this game right after having played Quake Wars Enemy Territory and had also recently played UT3. I found Frontlines to be well designed, smooth, and quite enjoyable even for a single player.
Graphics were detailed and sound was good. Movements were reliable and easy, but I did get stuck once and had to "redeploy". You can't save your game and it doesn't overtly tell you when the game has been ... Read More

Great game, fast action, multiple ways to combat enemies. Good for experienced or novice users. Just make sure you read the system Requirements. It takes alot of space and requires alot of memory {RAM}, to work properly. Graphics are really good, but the lowest setting possible still requires a fast machine. Overall, worth the money.
Rating: - could be better
for the most part the game is fun and the storyline is pretty good, but, make sure your rig can take it. My personal rig ran it fine in SP but everytime I tried to get online it would crash or freeze up or just couldn't coonect to a server though game was patched to most recent. I would wait for the price to come down though. My other rig though better than my personal rig would not play it at all.....mmmmmmmmm??
