I just got it last night and all I have to say after inviting my friends over is -- not including any multiplayer funtions until 1P mode is finished in a game that is presented as one of the premier party games is outright asinine.
I wonder if some people buy Halo 2 and never touch the campaign. I wonder what those people would have thought if Bungie had made multi an unlockable after beating the game once.
I read someone say in another thread that they want all the multiplayer out of the box. I say that some multiplayer content can be locked; I'm cool with that. Unlock it by playing MULTIPLAYER. Unlock single player content by playing single player. NEVER hide HALF the game, especially if that mode is critical to the game's presentation, which in this case it is.
Dammit, it makes me hope that 1P mode is really short, but in reality I don't hope for that at all.
And while I'm in gripe mode... I can't stand that going to the minigame menu and selecting an individual game will not let you play endlessly at an increasing rate of difficulty for hundreds of minigame high scores. That's where I wasted all my time in the very first Wario Ware, and it was a blast!
Know how it is here? You select your difficulty on a slider, then you play three rounds (15 seconds) of the game. Then you're done. No high scores, no true challenge (since it doesn't stop the three step progression if you lose one of the rounds), no fun whatsoever. What were they thinking? I loved this mode and it was one of the reasons I bought this game in the first place. Had I known what it was like, I very likely would not have made the purchase. Pathetic.
