i like your review style sir or madame
However, the graphics weren't that bad and the beach area in particular looked gorgeous, so 4 out of 11 for Graphics seems a little harsh. Having said that, 3 out of 11 for Gameplay seems almost insanely generous, so what the hell.....
On the graphics, you've got a rendering engine that does alright on the tiny areas in the game. It runs smooth but there is occasional pop-in, the modeling is pedestrian and low resolution, the textures are terrible, generally looking like upscales of a B-grade PS2 title, and the faces are absurdly wooden,not to mention cross-eyed and more than half-retarded on most of the characters. The beach is also my least favorite environment in the game. The crash debris is low res and the tide looks like shit.
On the gameplay side, the controls work, which is worth something, but the gameplay tasks are boring and not fun at all fun save for the chase sequences that are too short and too shallow. Generally the gameplay isn't actively offensive, it just isn't worth much. The shootout sequence, however, is truly terrible.
