It's a fun game to play. It has a flavor of it's own. The difficulty is not over the top. The "take cover" interface is a bit weird at first, but u get used to it quick. The graphics, and the general atmophere is great. The weapons are standard, except the Locust bow. It shoots an explosive arrow, that plants to a wall next to you with a distinctive "STING!". Sound alarm that you got lucky not to get it explode in your body, but u still have to kiss the ground.
There's plenty of stuff to hide dehind for cover, enabling the coolest feature of the game, blind shooting dehind cover.
This game is made to be played by two players co-op. If you don't have a friend available split screen or via XBL, the game will assign you an AI. The AI will carry his share of the monster bashing, but is also very dumb at time.
It's not a game for kids, the language is mild with a lot of "S***", and a rare "F***". The chainsaw usage, althrough awsomely satisfying, is not a sight for kids.
A another good feature of the game is that when u run out of ammo for your conventional weapons, you can pull your handgun, and your chainsaw for some fun "I'm not going to go down like a sucker survival action ... and actually make it.
Not a first shooter fan here, but got sucked in playing it and did not regret the buy.
