Really enjoyed it at the start - was def going to attempt a platinum run until they decided they werent making enough money so MICRO TRANSACTIONS was decided, not just a bit but massively increase. In addition to this, everyone is overlooking the massive error with the Licence Test tyres - I couldnt complete those tasks at all, for days I struggled. It was their error!!

Initially this game was frustrating; being quite a good gamer, but having not played the original XCOM, I selected “moderate” difficulty. This was a huge mistake; not only was the game punishing every SINGLE error I made, I was aimlessly wandering a map and dying often. Losing key staff members. Eventually rage quitting. However, after throwing the toys out the pram, I stomached my pride, and started the game on “easy/first time playing XCOM.” This is where I really started to enjoy the game; I was able to successfully complete missions, move forward in the overall game etc. It’s still difficult, but I really started to enjoy it. It’s a clever game, very few times have I ever had to pause when playing a different game and think “I could lose this round if I make 1 mistake” or constantly cycling through different tactical options, or after completing a move go “DAMN I should of considered that.” Most games nowadays dumb everything down to be completely generic and enjoyed by everyone. This is deliberately hard, and has a steep learning curve. Its also full of bugs; like everywhere. Sometimes so many things go wrong that you actually go “what just happened in the last 10 seconds” the camera pans to nothing, someone falls through a floor. Its bizarre, but I still love it. Well worth the price.

I'd like to reply directly to the 7 rating from mosannam9696 I think you've missed the point a little. You appear to have gone into the game expecting a life changing moment - while the other reviewers are rightly giving it a 10, it doesn't mean you should sit there and be on constant alert for a mind blowing experience. What I did was start the game with no preconceptions, try to understand what the game was telling me, enjoy the way in which it dealt with life and death. The challenges were perfect in my opinion; often only stopping me just enough so that I could say "Ah, that's how you do it" then move on. I found the ending bizarre too, but it certainly left me sitting there going "wow." Rather than previous games where I hit X immediately. This game will make you smile, tense; even scared and maybe confused. But never have I played a game where this has happened.

My 2 sisters and I loved playing this game. Its so easy to play 3 player local co-op. You soon get used to Friendly fire and how to call in air drops. We enjoyed playing Dead Nation, but the the graphics on HellDivers are so much better which really adds to the game.

I really didn't enjoy this game. I bought it mainly for the Multi-player but gave the campaign a shot too. The Multi-player is weak. The guns are far too simple and lack any punch whatsoever. The campaign is quite good fun, but way too linear and voice acting is elementary. The building aspect - which all the magazines talk about as the best thing since slice bread - becomes very old very quickly. The Mulitplayer maps are either far too large or far too small. 2/10.

Simply brilliant. Great action, sense of suspense. Has everything, strongly recommended. Have played all the Mass Effect games and was initially nervous about the Multiplayer, but its excellent. PSN: jstevo.

Really fantastic game, if you liked either the first or second one, this one is in exactly the same vain. With a couple of extras. Like multiplayer, which i was firstly sceptical of, but have grown to love it.

The single player lives up to the Call of Duty high end gameplay with smart AI and stunning visuals. However, the multiplayer, in comparison to Modern Warfare 2 is substandard and certainly a step back in terms of overall enjoyment, entertainment and sense of achievement. A bizarre new "COD Points" system is hard to understand and will confuse first timers. The graphics in Multiplayer to me were pretty dreadful. Were talking the latest and greatest COD on a HD 1080p Samsung and it felt like i was playing World at War on a CRT. Certainly does not live up to the hype.
