It's definitely not a perfect game.  But when it was released there
were some annoyances that they addressed later (I was mostly unaware
of the changes because I had already stopped playing by then).

A common complaint when it first came out was that enemy drones,
planes and choppers were so frequent such that they wrecked immersion
and were just a pain in the ass in general.  Now there are different
settings that let you adjust that aspect of the world if you want, or
play it as it was released, etc.

It's definitely worth $6.  I'd probably still recommend it even at the
$20+ mark for anyone who has ever enjoyed anything about the Tom
Clancy branded games.
