You did ring on two of the most annoying points for me, the excessive load times (what is it doing, decompressing the entire level?) and the barely passable voice acting.
My aunt had a saying, "If you swear, say it like you mean it!" These days, if the dialogue doesn't sound bad enough, the swearing is so poorly acted it makes me cringe!
I'll be honest, I stopped at mission 13. After shooting, hacking computer with "classic concentration" technology and shooting some more, I broke when hearing that one Asian chick who's name evades me. I didn't even put the save games anywhere, after 14 hours of playing, I went to straight uninstall.
I borrowed the damn thing, and I'm telling my friend to return it ASAP. He got sidetracked on the other game he got, and it just leaves a bad aftertaste to play this one.
Addendum: The other game he got was Freedom Fighters. I'm waiting to play that one, but I saw him play the first three-area level. Now that's much better voice acting. I was sold when I realized that IO Interactive (Hitman 2!) made it, but it looks like fun. Heck, it was fun to watch, which I can't say if I was a spectator in Chrome.
