In this world there's two kinds of people: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk.

Happy Trails. :)

Wouldn't be one of the Burnout games by any chane, or Need For Speed... all have taken "valuable" hours of my life!

It is.
Yahtzee does a pretty comprehensive review, but the entire game can be summed up as thus:

"FUCK YEAH, AMERICA!"

Downloading "Killing Floor" right now... has good reviews, interesting gameplay, hopefully won't be a waste of my money.

It's just more of the same only with bugs. You can't even get more than a couple of games in a row and then it crashes and you've to enter a new lobby. Also, one of the things they've done to "balance" the game to make it harder to get killstreaks is to have people spawn all around you so if you gun down 3 people in a row by the time you've gunned the third one the first one might already be right behind you. I don't like that shit. It means I can't gun down more than 2 people before having to check behind me.
But the biggest disappointment is that it's more of the same. I expected moar.

That's hardly a reason to hate a game. A film maybe, but not a game. You're just being a contrarian. If everyone else likes it you don't. I still have yet to play a multi-player as good as Call of Duty and now that I'm bored of it I and nothing else is replacing it I fear my multi-player FPS days may be done.
That said, I haven't played the one player so I haven't seen any "FUCK YEAH, AMERICA!" stuff. The multi-player has different nations and they're done neutrally.

"Fuck Yeah America" is about gameplay.

Repetitious, dull, uninspiring gameplay.

Explosion, shoot, shoot, shoot, explosion. End level.

It's multi-player focused.
There's a co-op campaign, a team-based versus, a couple of other modes I haven't really played.
It does have a single-player mode which is the co-op campaign with bot allies.


By and large, the community is better too.
You don't get called a quick-scoping faggot bullshit asshole every three seconds.

I'll have a look. I'm looking at the review on Gamespot. It does look good.

Cool. I'll have a look. I hate the community on COD, too, to be honest. I mute the cunts.
