A love it or hate it game

Almost every element of this game is love it or hate it. The story: If you like movies like Scarface, Goodfellas, The Godfather Part II, and other movies like that you'll find a lot to enjoy, and if you don't then you're going to hate the story. Gameplay is probably the biggest love it or hate it feature of the game, though. The cover system forces you to move your charecter in order to have him take cove. I never had much trubble with it, but there are some who do. In a world full of games like GoW, and Halo it's hard to remember guns with recoil, and these guns got it. Some people will be turned off by the amount of it, but i found no problem aming for the head and chest, and killing an enemy in one or two shots. The guns also have range, so you can't kill snipers with a pisol. Some people have trubble understandin, or enjoying this concept. I did not have these problems.

That said, there are a few features that are undiniably bad and good.

The Bad: Collision detection, you will often find charecters glitching into eachother, and dead people usually fall into the floor, but the problem doesn't affect the game much. The only big problem i found in the game was the AI. If you would watch your team fight for a while you'll realize that they can be bad shots at times. I have honestly watched my team shoot at enemies at almost point blank range, and stil they weren't hitting eachother, but that said, this doesn't happen very often, and usually the enemies and your team are very capable fighters.

The Good: Split screen coop is extremely fun and interestng. If you have a friend there's no reason for you to not play this game. The online game for it is also a must see, it is so interesting and fun. The whole coop competitive system of fragile alliance. This is definately a must try for anyone with online.

So, even though i loved this game i have to say that it is probably best to rent it first... but you should definately give it a try!
