Anyone for co-op at the weekend?
Found the first games to be a lot of fun, but the level design and enemies were a bit repetetive after a while, no such problems with this though. One minute you're fighting witches in a treetop village, the next you're in a massive Japanease style city fighting Kung-Fu zombies.
Excellent fun as well.
So much more varied than the first game. Already seen more level themes than the first 2 games put together and I've only just got through the first chapter.
Oh and the graphics and vehicles are lovely.
I remember CDS with 4 players, offline. Awesome.

Usually the teamxbox site will tell you such things.

Not according to them. They do occasionally get it wrong.
Think the original Doom multiplied by 1000. No amazing AI routines, no intelligent s**toryline, no tactics. Jus**t waves and waves of insane looking enemies charging at you while you mow them down with some of the larges**t weapons this side of Turok Dinosaur Hunter.
If you like blowing sh*t up and games with a sense of humour, then the game might be for you. Be warned though, it really aint for everyone and a lot of people find it incredibly monotonous. It's all about giving you an almos**t infinite supply of ammo and shoving as many enemies on screen as possible. It's frantic as hell, you aren't gonna get a more insane and brainless shooter.
