"Become anything...change everything," will become nothing more then words upon deaf ears about half way through this action extravaganza. I believe the words, "become anyone, change a little," are more relevant to the topic at hand.

Book Review: Radio Free Dixie by Timothy Tyson
The actions and impact of "regular folk" are often ignored in history, but never as much as in a survey of the Civil Rights era. Tyson's book is as much about a movement as about a man.

to each his own my friend. It's just my opinion, take it or leave it. The game has been out for weeks, therefore most of the gamers out there that planned on playing this game have already done so. So i didn't go into full detail on the story. I just felt this game was way to similar to other games and movies before it. They should have, attempted to make it more of their own. But like I said...that's just my opinion.
