I?ve played it on the ps2 and was surprised at how good it was. I was expecting a very bad port but it actually looks better than then first 2 on the ps2.
I also have Gears of War and the online is just perfect. Its safe to say this is the best online shooter out now for any system, pc included. You really have to work together if you want to win and everything they put in there is done perfect. Weapons, level design, graphics, sound, health regeneration, controls, everything is perfect. Even the 8 player limit is great and more people would ruin the team play. Flanking works great. One guy keeps an opponent busy and when he?s reloading in cover you quickly run to his side while your team-mate gives cover fire. He pops back up to shoot and you either flank him with a gun, sneak up and chainsaw him or if you have balls you tag him with a grenade which means certain death for him but if he?s good he can take you to the grave with him. Its so intense and every spot in every level has multiple ways to get to it so you?re always watching your back and moving arround.
Also the character models have to be seen to be believed. Most realistic looking characters in a game ever. Easily toy story quality models. Makes me think Killzone2 graphics are not that far off.
EPIC has made a game of pure genius and a real system seller for the 360. If you like online shooters this is worth the $400 imo. It will give you hundreds of hours of fun. I thought the reviews were overrated at first but after playing it this really is a revolutionary game.
