I was a bit skeptical on picking this title up at first as I prefer FPS games with lots of realism and intensive graphics. I've always enjoyed cel-shading but never thought it suited shooter games. However, this game combines the two beautifully in a package that delivers both visually pleasing surroundings and a rewarding notion that your money was spent wisely. At first I wanted to get the hang of the game and figure things out before I attempted online co-op and embarassed myself.. Once I did, however, and I started playing co-op the game got that much better. There's nothing like ripping around on a blood covered runner while your buddies are tearing things apart with high-calibre mounted weapons. The skill points/reward/upgrade system is well thought out and I'm not even going to get into the wealth of weaponry at your disposal. The story line seems solid and the game is ranged enough that DLC is going to be easily added in. Clearly this was behind the game design as they have already released 3 DLC packages for the game which allow you to level even higher and complete more missions with your friends, giving you a chance to up that gamerscore even more. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this game and would recommend it to anyone that likes co-op shooters or who is looking to try something new/different.
