This game is awful. I don't get how EA manage to get good ratings on mediocre games. IGN rated this POS as 8 - should be 5 or lower. The controls are aweful. They should learn something from COD4 and Activision. Plus using your AI partner in single player CO-OP is like asking a moron to help you out on your physics homework. AI partner will walk into an area where he can easily be shot and then will get to the point where you have to go and rescue him. The aiming of the guns, painful experience. Buy COD4 and play it repeatedly..it will be more fun this lame game.

The controls on this game are terrible, and there are no options to reassign the buttons. game play is just annoying when you can accurately control your character or your aim. I bought this game to play co-op and it is ok for that but really annoying to work your way through the level the agro is just a dumb idea....

If you are looking for comedy, this game delivers: when your mentally crippled partner is standing alone staring into the abyss, he's dragging you through a firefight while you both get pecked at and inevitably die a frustrating death. That is, unless the equally stupid enemies run right past you, which is often. The whole effect would be great for an Abbot and Costello movie but this is a game - a bad one.

If you are looking for a good shooter, might I suggest playing Resistance again before wasting your time and money on this generic effort.

Wow. Just Wow. And not a good wow.

I don't understand how this game is getting such high marks. The controls are terrible, either you have super slow accelerating into way to fast causing you to over lead all the time or you just have super slow. To the point where you can't even keep up with a guy while he's running across the screen. Then there's the total uselessness of the guns. Seriously, the bullets don't really effect the enemy. You can shoot guys point blank and they'll get up and run away. You can shoot them while they're running and they don't even trip or slow down! You have a better bet running up to the enemy and trying to melee. That is if the camera is pointed at him, otherwise you just start shooting off into nothing. And if you get lucky. No lie. I shot a guy 20 times, he ran past me, I went to melee and he was able to beat me to it and kick me to the ground.
And the camera, no auto anything. You have to continuously turn. No auto lock or tracking or anything. Enemies can run right past you and kill you by shooting you in the back while you're stuck fighting the slow camera to try and turn.
The graphics are OK but you can't shoot through things! COD4 has raised the bar and other games need to respond. Enemies can hide behind a particle board sign and not be shot. Infuriating to say the least. This really feels like a PS2 game ported over.
Online VS play is interesting. They have some good ideas there, but the controls just ruin it.
On a side note, not sure if it's the game or the PSN, but I could not get voice chat working at all when it was fine in the Lost Planet demo.
I would NOT damage the name and reputation of Gears by making any comparison between the two.

I had been anticipating this game for close to a year, it was supposed to come out in November and was pushed back to "polish up graphics and refine mechanics" if thats the case I would have HATED to see how bad it was back then. this Game is a GIANT let down. The controls are clumsy and slow, and usually inaccurate.

The A.I. is frankly woefully lacking in the areas they claimed it would be superior, the "computer partner" doesn't cover you, doesn't heal you, and very rarely stays with you at all. The vehicles are pathetic and require two men to use properly but your partner of course is constantly running off to do their own thing. With all the articles I've read about this game, all the videos all the excitement and build up of waiting for it. I'm horribly disappointed. I was ready to give this game every chance I could and i just can't recommend it.

It's as if the game simply isn't finished. They boast on and on about the total customization of your character and it's all B.S. you can KIND of customize your weapons, and can choose different armor, but only in campaign mode, you can't customize jack squat in online play, you can't even select which character you want to look like it randomly chooses a character from the campaign to give you. which sucks big time.

this Game over all just isn't worth the inflated price for a "NEXT GEN" game.

hasty review

The only thing I enjoyed about this game was being able to customize your weapons and the humor between the 2 characters. Other than that it was just the same like every other FPS/ 3rd person shooter. The cut scenes of opening door after door got real old too.

I took a wallet beating for this?

Usually I'm a pretty good judge of games for my taste. I get somewhat of a sixth sense for a game that I feel I should pick up. I will tell ya what, my spider sense failed me on this one. The game starts out ok, and the premise is great. Where the game fails is the purely in the execution. Using aggro, the main hook of the gameplay, becomes stale as you have to use it about every single firefight. Not to mention, the aiming is terrible. I actually got to the point where I would rather just run up and melee the baddies as it seemed to be more effective.

Not that I'm the best at shooter games (actually I suck horribly) but I still enjoy the good ones, but this one definitely is not good. When the core mechanic of the gameplay is faulty, how can you enjoy it? Imagine a fighting game where punches and kicks are totally ineffective. Sounds pretty crappy right? Exactly. I'm sure there are people that will love this game for the co-op but even that couldn't save it for me. Rent first before you buy.

Quite a big letdown

I went to gamestop the first day it came out and it was sold out. So, knowing how cool the trailer for this game is and it being sold out on the first day, I just had to get it. I got it and went home and turned it on expecting the most out of it to see the Main Menu screen which reminded me of some nasty Gears of War crap.

CONS
Then I experienced the lagging cross-hair targeting which is the main flaw.

Oh yeah the enemies have no reaction to bullets and have that lame rag doll death.

I don't like the costume design especially. The flame print on the armor is gross.

Colors are too bright.

Online play is not really online. It's pretty lonely online and the co op gaming is mediocre.

PROS

It's a cute idea having made this game especially for coop gaming but it's not the best.

Good storyline.

Cool gun mods.

That chick in the game is hot.
