I'm gonna steal the old skool reviewing methods of OXM as I'm not in the mood for long posts.

Good Points -

* Single Player is orgasmic
* Co-op is orgasmic
* AI is...yup you guessed it orgasmic

Bad Points -

* Warehouse and head jumping are back seemingly unchanged
* No cinema or Hospital
* Proxy voice in co-op doesn't seem to work as well as I'd hoped
* Assholes in VS are back, didn't get to play Spies at all last night

Spies VS Merc is yet to impress me to be honest but I'm sure that'll change when all the people I know get the game today. Last night it was a case of the same old crap people not joining your server unless they can play spies, oh and already about 50% of the optimatch games were playing Warehouse which is seriously depressing. Oh and words can't describe how large and confusing the new VS levels are, it's gonna take an age to learn these things and the fact that all the levels have totally different kinds of objectives doesn't help at all.

Co-op however is sublime. We played through the first level which took a hell of a long time, the good thing was that the AI was constantly changing their tactics and suprising you around every corner. Favourite moment so far was when my partner was getting ready to slam a door open on a guard, to his suprise the guard used exactly the same tactic on him and sent him flying across the room.

So anyway excellent game so far, it's met pretty much all of my expectations already and I've hardly even scratched the surface.

i just got it tday i am only on the first level but i think the graphics are absolutly amazin .

On the plus side I managed to get it for £26.

Which was nice. :)

Me and my mate have been playing through co-op online. Absolute brilliance so far, can't fault it except very occasional lag.

I dunno why it's not highlighted. Because I've played around 10 ranked games now so that box is definately incorrect.

Cool.

If luck goes my way I'll be onlive tomorrow.

Probably not though, will probably have to wait for a new router.

I'm enjoying the game quite a bit however the co-op lag issue needs to be sorted out. I think I know the source of the problem though. I was playing with Col and some random guy and we got disconnected this was over live. Then I tried a system link game while logged into live and it still happened. But when I was playing System Link without being signed into live we never once got disconnected. Seems to me there is some Live bug/issue which loves to crash the game.

Yeah, me and a friend were playing last night and tonight and we completed the co-op on normal but on the last level, train station, it disconnected twice and the first time we had to replay quite a bit.

We're going through on hard now and then expert and will probaby do some missions on the 'elite' mode were you have no ammo.

I've not really had any of these problems you talk about with co-op. The framerate goes a bit in really large areas occasionally but nothing to write home about.

It is just wonderful.
Nothing less.

Excellent game. But yeah, unfortunatly me and my cousin got lost connections quite a lot while playing co-op on Live last night. At least we know we weren't the only ones with that trouble now.

Sounds like we're on the last level too cause we just got to the train station. In a way its cool to do well enough to beat the co-op mode, but on the other hand I'm disappointed that its not going to go on forever like I was hoping. :-|

At least theres still the solo campaign and the vs mode. ;-)
