4. very bad voice acting and plot.
5. trying to be GTA in every manner as far as driving, shooting, missions, perspective, item collection, but worse in all.

This is a very good game. It's kind of like a mix between Max Payne and GTA set in Mexico. The graphics aren't too good but it's got great action and a very good story line. If your into action heavy shooters with lots of cool moves, get this game.

Enjoyable game.

This game can best be described as a mixture of Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne and Desperado. It has the mixture of free roaming and mission-based storylines from GTA, the bullet time of Max Payne, and the gunplay and Mexican-themed music and feel of Desperado.
You play as the twin brother of a DEA agent who goes undercover to try to break up a Mexican crime ring. During the game, you can use a variety of weapons and vehicles to score points and increase your weapon skills, health and adrenaline.
The cons: the graphics are not in the Halo/Doom 3-D caliber , but I don't mind giving up a little graphic quality for good gameplay. The adrenaline bar - which allows you to use the bullet time feature - is too short, even with the pickup-based increases available in the game, which is not good when you're surrounded by gun-toting bandits. The pedestrians seem to jump into the path of your car for no reason, which is very annoying during time-based missions.
The pros: plenty of action, a good variety of weapons to choose from, a decent storyline, a nice ending, and a fine amount of violence throughout. Plus, the bizarre moments in the game were interesting: for example, one pickup temporarily changes you into a Mexican wrestler so you can fight others around you who were also turned into wrestlers.
The game wasn't too short for me, although I didn't play it every day. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable mixture of missions and gun battles. The game didn't appear all that interesting when I first looked at it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth at least a rental, if not a purchase.
