Alright, I got my 50 for 20.  Hopefully this is a lol-tastic romp.

Actually, I'd thought I read that you can only co-op over Live. Let me know if I'm wrong, G. System link would be huge.

This game is awesome wtf.  I'm on stage 3 I think and so far it's better than Gears 2 and a lot of big name games.

+++++60fps with good graphics
+FAST and good controls
+Buddy saying stupid comments all the time
+lol cutscenes
+collectibles that are easy to find
+EASY DIFFICULTY (after so many real games, it's nice to pick up a game where you don't need skill and you just run around and blow shit up while having fun.  No thinking, no covering, just blow shit up!)

-The tip box takes up like 20% of the screen and limits your view at times

Really enjoying it.  Plays real well and has lots of laughs.  I need to play more shooters that are just about FUN like this and not serious ZOMG YOU TAKE COVER AND POKE OUT OR YOU DIE.

Who were the developers on this?

fuck that, I love playing a game where I can be stupid and just run out in the open hit gangsta fire and shoot down everyone without taking damage. 

FUN  :hyper

I like a challenge as much as the next guy, but sometimes it's nice to play a game where you are practically invincible and the satisfaction is coming from BLOWING SHIT UP and not surviving the level :D

You can still do that. Kind of. But still, it's not hard.

Maybe I'll play hard in co-op someday and get the poster/target achievements.  I could see myself replaying this.  It's fun.  Wish it had split-screen though.

If I tried really hard thats the only thing I'd complain about, the HUD takes up so much of the screen. But it's not even worth complaining about.

Ok, the final level was a terribly lame way to end the game.  Should've just ended after the boss fight of the previous level.  The car race was the lamest level and then I was expecting to get out of the car and have an awesome final boss fight for the skull and...the credits rolled, lol.

Otherwise, game rocked.  I liked how it ripped off every shooter so it felt like a complete package but constantly fun.  The shooting was great, the turret parts were great, the first car sequence was a fun diversion, the chopper turret was great.  It really had everything plus a crystal skull.  I think it could've used some variety for the boss fights instead of just having a tougher chopper fight everytime, but then otoh I liked the chopper fights because they were easy, so I didn't really care :P

I think what really made the game was how different all the weapons are.  When I was like halfway through the game and the enemies started to not die so quickly with my weapons, I saved up and got the best assault rifle and then everyone was going down in a second or two and it was awesome.  Then I kept running out of ammo and my blue shotgun weapon sucked so I saved up and bought the best uzi and suddenly I was running around without even using the L-trigger aim and just blowing away guys in 1 second with the super uzi.  Loved the explosive round pistol too and liked that there was enough ammo around to use rockets whenever.  Add in grenades and I always had a lot of stuff to blow people away, which was rad.

The game is fun enough that it almost makes me want to go and try to 1000/1000 it someday.  Best.$20.game.ever.

Demi, how do you get gold medals?  My score was always crap at around 35,000 and silvers are usually 75k with gold being 150k.  I complete all the scenarios, combo 2-4 guys kills in a row, and try to blow everything up but that's all I get scorewise.  The posters/targets help a lot and the one time I got all of them (replaying the first section) I only barely got 75k and a silver, but that's still far from gold.  I just don't see how it's possible to get those kind of points?

* You have to play on HARD
* You have to collect all the posters and targets in a level
* Taunt after every kill

That's about it. Gold can be done on single player, just take your time
