Get this game if you own a Wii. Free online multiplayer makes it totally worth it.
The ranking system and levels give you something to strive for in the multiplayer universe, along with the perks and upgrades available as you level up. The connection speed is almost always very good, and very rarely do you ever get lagg. The multiplayer is very engaging. The variety of weapons and fighting styles allows you to find your preferred range (short, medium, or long), power, and reload rate. Weapon customization/perks are very diversive and balanced. Three perks can be chosen to upgrade your performance in battle, whether it be extra health, more damage, or protection from grenades. In the actual arena, battles are often intense and challenging, especially when playing against experienced players. The only problem I have with the multiplayer system is that 4-man teams are often unbalanced compared to the other team in terms of level (which usually determines skill level as well). Personally, I can't put this game down. If you have homework to do, lock your Wii somewhere where you can't see it...
