I’ve got round to actually playing through it (and who knows, this may have been the last opportunity to do so with GFWL getting knocked on the noggin) and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Yes, the flaws you described are mostly there, but there was rarely a dull moment and the game encouraged you to have creative fun.

I didn’t have a problem accruing points to play freely with all the weapons in the game. I build up a fair amount early on, and just spent excess on upgrades and ammo. And when the game gives you points for staring at stuff and various miscellaneous actions… it’s definitely not too restricting.

What I did actually enjoy were the boss fights, whether on or off the rail. It rarely went anywhere frustrating. So extra points there.

If people come across it and haven’t played it… well, I guess it might not be an awful idea to if you fancy a random, fun fps.

Gutted, too many games these days miss the trick of good ol’ proper co-op fun.

I haven’t tried it, but I believe the multiplayer is a co-op only swarm type of affair, yes.

I believe there is some kind of ever-escalating arena mode point attack thing.

Is there a co-op on it? I imagine point scoring would be more fun competing with a friend, although I do have a sneaking suspiscion it would just wind up trying to stop the other person getting points and nobody really winning.
