It's a fairly entertaining shooter with a interesting "twist" in level design : you can almost blow anything up. I liked the detailed graphics, incredible sound, the storyline was fine too (instead of opting for gritty realism like COD4, the story is about 4 soldiers who want to get rich by stealing some gold). The biggest criticism is for the controls which are pretty bad (or simply suck when you have to drive the chopper).
Overall...a fairly good "military type" shooter.

The "War of the spider queen"...a pretty big series comprised of 6 novels each written by a different author. When i found out about this i was a little put off...honestly i don't expect different authors to maintain the same style and coherency. And it looks that i was right... while the first 3 books are pretty good and maintain a certain coherence, the last 3 are considerably worse and the writing style appears slightly disjointed.
Overall the series is a interested read if you are a Forgotten Realms fan but if you're just looking for a good fantasy read....then go look elsewhere.
