Not sure why the reviews are so all over the place on this one. It seems like a continuation of the previous two with some slight upgrades. If you liked the first two, (and I did) you should like this one.

But going to have to finish Spider-M first. :)

@treetrunk: "If you don't have time for games because you're a father or whatever, shouldn't you be happy that this game doesn't have any repetitive filler content or tacked on multiplayer?"

This is so me these days. Sold.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I'm actually enjoying the campaign a lot. I usually don't even finish the COD campaign. Throw in the Modern Warfare campaign and I think it's worth it.

I guess its just a matter of taste in story.

I found MGSV and Fallout 4 repetitive and boring after awhile. Didn't finish either. But both these games got really good reception generally.

The reaction to this game reminds me a bit of that to Mad Max, which also had complaints of filler and repetitiveness. But I actually finished Mad Max and enjoyed it more because I liked the story.

To each his own, but I'm really liking it so far.

Played Mafia 2 because it was super cheap. Had a good story, a beautiful map, and nothing else.

It was actually a bit strange. An open world game map but nothing but story missions.

But the story was good enough that I think they can pull this off. Because this looks awesome.

As someone who grew up playing Red Dawn with by friends in the back yard, I wish they could get a game with this premise right.

Played the Beta and was really not impressed.

But this great review makes me want to try again.

Got to finish Uncharted and the Witcher expansion first though. Not to mention a bunch of others in the backlog. Which just keeps growing.

Too many great games too little time.

I had picked up Tools of Destruction back on my PS3. But I never really got into it.

But my daughter is four now and I thought this might be a fun one to "play" together as she can figure out really basic controls. She loves it and the visuals are amazing.

Long story short my wife had to yell at me last night because I was playing it after my daughter went to bed. I had told my wife I only bought it (and honestly intended) to only play with my daughter. Busted.

Great game. Pick it up.

@jmic75: Edit: not sure why my iPhone keeps auto pasting my comment. Sorry.

Just wanted to say great comment and I agree

I have a family, and a job. In real life everyday I make decisions that involve ethics and have actions that are directly impacted by my ability/desire to have empathy.

Yet sometimes on a Friday night, after the kids finally go to bed, I enjoy popping in a video game like the Division and mindlessly shooting stuff with friends. I have no desire to deal with complex issues of morality while doing so.

The author writes a well written piece, but a pointless one. If in a world such as ours, with all of its real world issues/tragedies that happen daily, you shouldn't need a Tom Clancy game to help illustrate these complex issues. You are looking in the wrong place. It's not what it's for.

It's the equivalent of complaining that there aren't enough healthy choices at the fast food restaurant, when there is a Whole Foods and a Trader Joes next door. What you are complaining about may be factually true, but it is pointless in context. Go next door. Volunteer at your local soup kitchen.
