Well, ill run down the basics.

SPOILERS*




First and for most it is a short game. I think there is about 6 missions i believe. Each missions is about 30-45 mins given the common diffculty. You can go back and replay on harder modes with all the guns and money you've earned in your adventures. I did find the missions a little repetative, but fun overall. Though i did have a little problem with the hovercraft levels, far too short.

There are many weapons and each has its own strengths. The weapon customization is really nice. I found it one of the best parts of the game, plus they end up looking cool :P . It really gives you freedom to do the job you want to do (sneaky bastard or Rambo style.) I found that i went through multiple times just to see what each gun was like all "pimped out." There is also a bunch of different masks for your chosen character.

The cinematics are very nice and there is some good humor. The voice acting is good quality. I found myself a little confused in the story, but just a tiny bit. The game skips ahead a few years from your inital training to present times.

Now this is the most important part. The game really gets its charm from the coop portion. Its just flatout better video gaming with a live person controlling the other character. Its more fun when someone is there to see you blow a guys head off with a pistol at a distance. The AI trys but in the end it it can be frustrating. At all costs play with a human. If you dont have a friend youll have to take a gamble and get a rondom.

The online gives the game more life, beyond the short stroy mode. It consists of two teams of two players on the map. The map is filled with bots hostile to both sides. There is an objective given, and the first team to do said objective gets the cash. You can also get cash by killing the bots or the other team. The objective consist of things like kill so and so, rescue so and so, etc. You really should work as a team, or else you doomed to fail. I played a few times with a friend, and actually went undefeated. But alas it lost its charms with me. I still play, but i go through and beat it with friends that havent played it each time.

Overall i thought it was an interesting take and enjoyed it. I would suggest a rent to try it out first. I would only play a second one if they made it longer and added new guns and all that jazz. So thats all i can really think about, if you have any more questions ask away.
