I think the online mutilplayer makes this game better i have a good number of multiplayer games for my GC but all of my friends are ps2 casual gamers, leaving me with only one brother to play against... considering the fact that he whips my butt raw in everything except madden it gets tiring, so MP:H online gives me a chance to get whipped by other people, cuz I am pretty bad at most games, which makes them fun. i hate things that are easy. what was i saying?? oh yeah online makes it worth the wait, it's better than if we were waiting cuz they were adding connectivity to the gba.
