Buggy But Worth $20 Will Tide You Over til the Q4 Heavy Hitters Arrive

This game is pretty fun for a guilty pleaure type game. (ii.e. robbing banks and murdering lots of people)

It looks to pretty much run on an engine thats the same as the engine in Left 4 Dead except it has cops instead of zombies.

The missions are fairly interesting, basically emulating your favorite bank robber movies etc. Controls are pretty simple.

My recommendation is play thru the all the maps in single player at least once before venturing online.

That said, the game does have a few major bugs especially with the matchmaking, and it will occasionally freeze up and you have to restart your ps3.

All in all though the game is pretty fun especially playing with a headset online. Theres a large variety of weapons and a decent variety of enemies.
Its no COD or BF3 (or even L4D) but its better than bad.

If the game had an AI that was a bit smarter it would actually be a really good buy. By smarter I mean enemies should take cover when you shoot at them with supression fire not just keep charging in and dying in piles like extras from Orcs must die.

It is a fun game though and for $20 worth getting since they say it should have a bunch of DLC coming.
