    Heh don't lie, you were going to get it anyway! The multiplayer looks good, we should have a Hexus competiton, if not co-op games.

    Hmm, did you know it only takes 6 hours to complete single player? Can't believe it's that short, but multiplayer will rock!

    Aye, but that's the way with Epic games... they are VERY heavy on MP...

    Though from the stuff we've played, it'll be a bloody good six hours...

    replayability will also determine it's success in the UK.

    I'm on Q4 again this week, and it's pretty quick but its AWESOME

    first time round, or with practice?

    While the SP does look good, I'm more geared towards the MP

    Damn - this was the last thing that I wanted to read - gonna have to start thinking seriously 'bout getting a 360 now... What makes it even worse is that the missus made me sink £300 into a new cooker
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    It's linear and fast paced, so I reckon 6 hours for a decent player, maybe a couple more for those who'll be cowering in the corner away from the action! There's different difficultly settings though, so I can imagine Hardcore will be really tough.
