The African Serengeti looks similar both on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 version. But the location makes use of good design in the game presentation. Even during the game itself, the background is set on several exotic locales. For example, during one of the battles, the characters can get on a boat and then sail of to a highly-detailed ravine.
On another instance, the characters were able to drive a car along a stretch of dirt road. Driving in this game is good but even more notable is the AI integrated in this game. Ubisoft Montreal definitely outdid themselves this time; the enemy were reacting in ways that players don’t expect.
During one particular battle, an enemy shot on the leg fell but he was not really down. He sneaked around a side to watch; then his comrade came to help him to safety. As the game continues, we were able to kill his friend but as we neared the soldier, he was still on the ground and he started shooting at us. There are many examples of teamwork in this game.
Although not everything is sophisticated, it’s great to know that you are dealing with enemies with intelligence albeit an artificial one.
