<div class="IPBDescription">Coop intices me</div>I'm going to get this for PC as I'm in the mood for some random fun in coop mode and don't feel like waiting on L4D (which I'll get as well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />), It looks to me like it is a mix between the A-Team (only people die) and GTA 3+

Loads upon loads of arcade style action and the GTA3+ health system (damage much? I don't think so <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />) It's third person and a port from PS3/360 I guess. But hey, so are the GTA series and they offer tons of sandbox fun, but this game has multiplayer coop for PC! It also seems everything can be blow up from trees to buildings and it is quite big (san adreas?)

some link needed here...

    I heard it was so-so. I really wish for it to be good, though, so if you find it any fun, please tell. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> Mercenaries 1 was great fun and coop is always awesome.

    Well as soon as my new 3dcard is in my possession I'll probably get this game (A friend of min says its pretty fun, that coop) And he is usually the one I play coop/multiplayer games with <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I think I'll get my new card tomorrow... Going from a shadermodeless 3.0 card X850 to a new one the HD4850. Very annoying cause the X850 still packs a punch but has no shader model past 2.0... Ah well

    Look me up when you get it as I already have it on PC. (comprox is my account)

    To sum the game up, it's bad. The AI is bad, the story is bad, the PC controls are sometimes bad. In summary, it's fun. Yes, the game is still mindless fun despite it being so poorly made. Blowing entire city blocks or oil derricks up is just plain fun regardless how piss poor the AI is. So playing co-op with a buddy makes it more fun since you just destroy even more stuff. Don't go in expecting a good single player <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Heck, I had to kill a guy. He saw me, ran at me to kill me. The problem was he was on a dock. He ran straight at me, into the water, killing himself. I blew up the dock anyways <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
