This thread has been linked to the game 'Judge Dredd: Dredd Versus Death'.
Well so far I've played the training level and the first two missions/levels. It's far too early to 'judge' the game but so far I'm very impressed, the arrest system is expanded along the lines I wanted after the stealthy arrest system in Die Hard: Vendetta. In Dredd the arrest system helps you unlock secrets by keeping your 'law meter' full. I got the top rating on the first mission which worried me and I thought it was going to be easy, I got the lowest rating (rookie) on the next mission though so there's plenty to strive for and unlock.
Apart from the small amount of play I've managed to grab to play it (about 20-25 mins for EACH of the first two levels) I'm very happy with it.
Can't wait to try out the multiplayer. They should have had made more emphasis that the multi has bots though, the game's cover doesn't mention this at all which gave me the wrong impression that it didn't have any, Die Hard: Vendetta did the same forgetting to mention it had multiplayer bots.

I still don't feel I've given it enough play to warrant a verdict. Currently I like it a lot, the multiplayer is good altohugh some modes don't allow bots but look like they'd be great in 4 player (I've only experienced in 2 player so far).
I haven't tried the co-op, haven't got past the fourth mission and I don't feel I've experienced all the multiplayer mode can offer as of yet.
I'm still very impressed with it but from the 5th level onwards it could, although it's not likely not likely, but could go downhill from there.
I need to play it somemore but unfortunately I've actually been quite knackered the last few days, what with getting out of hospital and starting a new job.
So far still very impressed, but I need to play a lot more of it.

Copy pastey
:D
I *might* get it.
Maybe.

I finally got on the multiplayer with a mate and we had a 14 player deathmatch because it let us have 12, yes 12, bots! It seems to be very much like Quake but you can only have 2 weapons at a time (like Halo). I haven't played much but what I have played has been really good. There doesn't appear to be any auto-aim (except when using the Lawgiver's heat seeking rounds) and this adds to it's Quakeyness.
The design of the multiplayer levels I've played on so far has been good, there is one massive level which we played a 14 player deathmatch with each player having 10 lives. It was a long tactical game.
