To be honest this game surprised me. It looks pretty good although it has a few gameplay glitches. i thought it was going to be a complete train wreck but it has it's moments. Downside is its short. And is very easy. I quite happily put it straight on the hardest setting and breezed through the single player in about an 2 hours. and just as it gets interesting it's finished. The multi-player well must be rubbish. not that i can give really give a verdict as not one person was playing online when i had it on rental.(April 08) But no one playing is a good enough reason to guess it's Glitched or Laggy or just plain rubbish. So to conclude: + Looks good. - Single player is short and very easy even on hard. - Multi-player could be good but no one is playing it. 2/5
