It does? I don't recall anything earth shattering in it. Then again, the plot is pretty standard fare.

Damn, no Blockbuster or Game Crazy.  Are there any other major companies that rent I'm forgetting (besides Gamefly)?

Hollywood Video is one. Is Movie Gallery still an active, nation-wide chain?

Hollywood Video is GONE .

 http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/10/16/hollywood-video-parent-movie-gallery-files-for-chapter-11-bankru/

Not sure about that other place, but from the article they are having trouble too.

Hmm, that article is from 2007.  They must have saved themselves as the main website is still up and there are a couple stores near me.  Called one and they have one copy left so hopefully I can snag it in time!

Both Hollywood Videos near my mom's house is closed down for me.

online crashed twice for me. Once in a match, and second going in. GRRRRRRRRR

Walked in there today and picked up the only copy.  So they still exist.  Unless of course, I somehow wandered into a predestination paradox.

Gamespot have it a 6.5! Its not bad!!!!!! You CAN NOT compare to a 360 shooter! Why is everyone like "its too generic"! Halo is Generic and it got glowing reviews! I only normally look at IGN because Gamespot and most other main sites have gone down the tubes with Wii hate bias.

I just hope this incorrect reviews don't hurt the game sales. It deserves to sell well....

THat was pretty fun. It ended pretty abruptly though. That second game with streets and explosives was really close . I attempted to add you as a friend. Whenever you log on again go to friend requests and accept me.

The excellent control scheme is able to save this otherwise average adventure for a little while, but the many missteps of the campaign become suffocating before too long. The multiplayer, too, is entertaining for a few hours, but the seven maps are too simple and predictable to provide a consistently thrilling experience.

That is how they justify the review.

These situations are almost impossible to pass your first time through because you will need to memorize where the threats are positioned before you have a chance of survival.

Since you can't walk through the game without dieing once that is also a bad thing.

They scored it poorly because IGN basically got this game published, and they hate IGN. That's how they justify the review. There's no way you could give it a 6.5, sure there are seven maps, but there are several multiplayer modes - including modes not found in other games.

They talk about the multiplayer in one paragraph and really don't talk about the modes, just that there are 7 maps and that they suck. Also the reviewer is the same one that gave pictobits a 6.5.

It looks like BWii night dies for the night and I just got back home. So I'll probably be online tonight.

The Gamespot review is sad. I think the reviewer does not know how to enjoy games anymore. It is a dull job for him.

Seriously this game fucking rules, and kraken613 is pretty damn good. Every time I thought I was going to get a winning ratio, he'd kill me. This is the first time I used lock-on, about 15 minutes into the game too, I had totally forgotten about it until tonight.

If you wanted to play co-op then I'd play a few with you. We can do better than "C" rank!

Yep. I never used it though. I mapped it to the control pad.

Yeah in that marathon it was close we both had about 10 kills then I got into my rhythm. 38 more kills after that! I played bustin98 after you left, I beat him 15-5 I had 10 kills before his first. So I decided to lighten up on him.

I got a room Stratos!

OK, I'll play a bit with you first. Don't we still have a few co-op missions to beat as well? I think we only finished two.

What, exactly, does lock-on do? Center your screen on the target?
