Excellent game. Aren't quite feeling what NGC seemed to like about it quite yet, but it is pretty good fun, and also techinicly sublime.
Done the first level (gaem involves A LOT of patience) and got a proffessional rating, after my first try of 'Gun for hire' as I massacred all and sundry.
I reccommend. Now on St. Petersburg, and it looks lurvly.

Damn right.
The physics rule also - some guy walks through a door and you can blast him straight back out of it again and slam him against the wall. A bit over-the-top maybe, but enormous fun.
and how the hell did you nab on off a UN soldier?
Its impossible!!

I got the Ballers SD and Sawn off by getting SA ranking on the first two levels set in India.
The m4 I nicked from a UN Soldier!
Well, I've got 3 of them done ...
Waitaminute!
Do you have to do them in order - in a new game or something?
I think you have to get SA ratings on the first 5 missions - 2 for SD Ballers, 3 for shotgun and 5 for M4.
I got like 10 SA ratings so far, and still no M4. Only Anathema to do.....
I must have got 6 Silent Assassin ratings by now (and worked damn hard to get them, I might add) and still no silenced Ballers - no sawn-off - no M4.
But I love the game nonetheless.
So ... beautiful.
There is different difficulties, but I think the only difference is the amount of saves you get (7 on normal, 0 on pro).
Although there could be some other differences - I've only tried normal so far. But I doubt there's any new objectives.
