"You know it's funny too, I had thought that after Perfect Dark set the standards for a four player FPS, all FPS games would use its amazingly well crafted menu, interface, and plethera of options as an example. Unfortunately though all we consistantly see are sloppy menu interfaces and a set of static options in almost every FPS game since."
EdFishy, I couldn't agree more on this point. Perfect Dark really set the standard for what I expect in a shooter's multiplayer mode, and since then noone has even come close to touching what Perfect Dark had. Hell, not even Perfect Dark 0 touched the awesomeness of the original Perfect Dark's multiplayer modes.
As far as Red Steel's multiplayer goes, I honestly couldn't care less. I am buying this game for the single player experience. I am hoping they add some sort of incentive for replayability in that mode. I always loved going back in Perfect Dark and Goldeneye and perfecting each mission (I beat both 100% unlocking all cheats and levels), hopefully Red Steel has some sort of incentive like these had.
