I loved this game, but the whole thing about the destroying monsters gets repetitive and linear. Also there is is basically NO bosses! Whats up with that.......you think they'd put a little challenge into it! But this rest is awesome! So check it out, Brute Force.
I was expecting more

No doubt that it's a wonderful game, but I was expecting more. The graphics are so so but I love the weopons. The game is also quite easy and i'm not much of a gamer. If your looking for a difficult game don't buy this. I can't even compare this game to Halo and the awaiting release Halo 2. I didn't really enjoy but go ahead, be my guest, buy the game.
Great Game

I pre-ordered Brute Force and couldn't wait to play it. After playing it the first time I felt like it wasn't so great. I was also still having alot of fun with another recent purchase, Burnout 2. In Brute Force I got up to the third character and I thought the game should be better. After some consideration, I decided to sell it on ebay. It didn't sell so I gave it a second shot. After getting the fourth character the game became more fun. The levels were more intense and now I love the game. It really is worth a little time and effort.
A great action game similiar to halo

Brute Force is an outstanding 4 player coop futuristic security 23rd commison team adventure, where you get to explore many planets with all kinds of creatures and terrain, with cool weapons and secret berserk modes. Visually, brute force is beatifully stunning. From the volumetric grass and shadows to the amazing outdoor and indoor scenery to the glorious beyond pixar quailty cinematics with super high polys with well detailed animated environments and characters, brute force is a great game, and is set at the sweet 30fps spot. IN audio terms, brute force is GOOD, not extrordinary, but good enough. The A.I is pretty good, and the physics engine is above average. Overall the game is great and an more than an enjoyable experience and I highly recommend this game for halo fans! ;-)
The Best

This is the game I have been waiting for since I finished playing Halo. I recommend this game to anyone who has an Xbox. And the best part is that it is Xbox only.
Excellent cooperative play

I reviewed this product earlier and gave it four stars for four stars for single-player mode. The detailed graphics and overall game play overcame the game's few flaws. But at that point I had only played single player mode. Since then, I've got the chance to do quite a bit of 4-way cooperative action, and I have to say it's been some of the most fun I've had on my Xbox in a while.
Being able to have a friend just plug in a controller and start blasting away is great. No quitting your current mission and restarting from scratch.
Sure, having to play on a quarter of a TV screen is kind of a drag, but I didn't think there was that much of a sacrifice in terms of graphics. Certainly the action was very smooth, with the frame rate ticking over at a rapid clip even during the most action-packed sequences.
Although there is no way to switch characters with someone during play, if two or more people die, you can choose who you want to be respawned as.
It is cool, too, that you don't have to set up a special cooperative mission profile that is separate from what you've done in single player mode. I had finished the first few missions solo, and my friends and I were able to continue playing in that profile. When I return to solo play, I will pick up where the four of us left off. No need to repeat everything we did.
I have many other shooters -- Halo, Ghost Recon, Medal of Honor, Return to Castle Wolfenstein -- and this is only one that gives you 4-way cooperative action. For those of us who don't have Live or enough fellow Xboxers to do system link, this is a real boon.
Coming soon: my deathmatch review!
good, but not halo good!

Brute Force is a fun, and addicting game with four awesome characters and awesome graphics and levels. But, it is not as good as halo. The levels can get annoying and if you get lost, you could spend an eternity finding your way to the location needed. I would still buy it to kill off time until halo 2. A great game for you and three friends!
Excellent Game

Brute Force is an awesome game, second only to Halo. You are an elite assault squad in the far future that protects the confederation and restores peace. The characters are Tex, an assault trooper, Brutus, a feral alien, Flint, a cyborg sniper, and Hawk, a stealth expert. They all have indivual weapons and special abilties. Tex's favorite weapon is the minigun and Flint's is the sniper rifle. Tex can hold two weapons at once and Hawk can turn invisible temporarily. There are numerous enemies like Brutus' outcast savage kin and human rebel soldiers. The graphics are amazing and the multiplayer is fun. This game follow's in Halo' footsteps as a fantastic game.
One thing I wish they'd change...

It's a very good game. My only gripe is that they have status-bars/on-screen-displays which Stay on the screen in Each corner of the TV screen. Get with the times game makers & make these games more realistic and Projection TV & Plasma TV friendly! Make it so that you press the Start button or another button when you want to view the Radar Screen, which is Always at the bottom left-hand corner in this game. If you get wounded, make your vision go blurry or have your character fall-down like you would in Reality. This game Does have the characters actually say out loud that they are hurt or in need of medical attention which is Great! But if you're running out of ammo, have the character either automatically reload or just say out loud something like "Need to reload" and you Won't need the Ammo Status Bars. Not to mention the fact that permanent on-screen displays result in Screen Burn-In on Projection TV's as well as the new Plasma TV's! I have emailed Microsoft and other manufacturer's asking them to eliminate On-Screen Displays from games for the reasons above, as well as the fact that it looks Awesome when you can see the Entire area ALL the time, without anything blocking your view. Are you listening HALO 2 game designers???!! Don't make games that have Any objects which stay on the screen all the time. Or at least, make an "Option" in the options menu to be able to Turn Them Off if you want to. Thanks!
