Although the story mode is very, very short, the multiplayer makes it shine, and entertaining

This game can be a mixed bag, the story mode is too short (only 4 levels) and you can end it very, very quick, but the online is entertaining and satysfying, sadly, it seems they focused only on the online...

Tbh i dont read comics, i dont like them, so....i really dont know a lot about the characters. I cant say a lot of this really, since i dont really care. The bad thing about this, is that you can end it in 30 minutes, im not joking, is so f***ng easy.....meh...

--------------------------------------Gameplay-----------------------------------------
A very solid gameplay to be an arena-based game. There are different weapons (that you have to unlock playing online). The nice thing is that you can upgrade your weapons up to 3 different levels, these increase the portability, adds damage, give supressors and scopes,etc...
Also, you can choose differents characters to play, they all have alternate versions (that you have to unlock playing online)
It has a solid multiplayer, and it seems that its community is growing fast.

---------------------------------------Graphics--------------------------------------
The game uses the Unreal Engine 3, so you can expect great graphics on it, but its just that the textures pop-up too often. Yeah, the UE3 is known of this issue, but on this game is too often compared to others game using this engine.


---------------------------------------Problems-------------------------------------

Well, there are 2 main problems with this game:

1. Strong focus on online
2. Lag
2a. Matchmaking

1. First of all, i hate that, i mean almost EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING from:
the weapons,
the skins,
the "ultra weapons"
almost any trophy
to the abilities

are unlocked online, of course, they give you 2 main weapons, a super weapon (not ultra), 2 secondaries and 4 "abilities" if you want to call them like that, but it would have been better if they could be won by playing offline


2. God.....this game lags....lags a LOT, if you have played Killzone 2, and have lagged, you notice that you hit the player, and it takes time to him to react your attacks, if you lag..
Well, in this game you lag a bit different, if you try to run and are lagging, you snap a bit back (or teleport), also, when you shoot a weapon to a wall you see some dirt coming out of it, well, if you lag, it takes time that the bullet hit the wall.

In games like Killzone 2 i dont lag, i dont have slowdowns or anything like that, but in this game i have them a lot, A LOT, so its not my internet, this is a issue they really need to fix.

This game is a lot of fun, online. Have a lot of content, that you unlock online. But when you cant deliver a lag-free online, to a game that focus on ONLINE, then my friend, you can has epic fail.
