It's strange to me that a game can be so fun and addicting, but then you walk away feeling kind of disappointed. Like a roller coaster ride where they stop the car and ask you to get off right before the good part.  dry.gif


Just like Halo 2, am I right or am I right?

hopefully the next gears will be longer and have a little more info on the whole story.  you should definately try co-op on insane.

i think it might have something to do with the general push of games towards multi-player. especially considering you can play co-op over live, multilayer is the way to go.

when you think about it, this is a logical push. you can only play the game so many times in single player mode (you get to know it too well, becomes no fun). multiplayer is always something different, so it makes sense to push the game in this area to keep the life of the game as long as possible

Gotta love all these people who fly through a game on a setting they know better than to play on then complain that it was too short. Beat it on Insane then complain about how short it was.

Casual and Hardcore were actually pretty easy, although Hardcore did take a lot longer (had to keep repeating some parts...). Hopefully Xbox Live will be back up soon, so I can start Insane on co-op. biggrin.gif
