Squad based mp a blast, sp good only for getting parts fo mp
And the vast number of weapons and systems are any gearhead's delight. One assault rifle may give you better reload time and weight characteristics than another, but at the exense of ammo count and penetration power. A sniper rifle gives you great reload time and decent penetration power in a lighter weight package, but the sniper cannon gives you farther range and slightly better pennetration at the cost of weight, reload time, and larger hit profile. And etc.
SP really is teh suck. But most online squads won't even bother with you unless you complete all of it. And the bonus is you get enough items out of it to build some decent hounds to enter into the online community.
The only downside to this game, IMO, is the music. Luckily, Chromehounds takes very well to dashboard-fed music.
