You can buy it now since the "used" price is rather cheap. I find the game hilarious and entertaining no matter how repetitive it is. It's great that you can replay the game with the already experienced Frank.

It depends on how much of a completionist you are and how much you like difficult achievements. The Zombie Genocider is my favorite achievement by far across all 360 games... it took me 5-10 hours to obtain.

There is quite a bit of replay value for the survival modes.

If you can rent the game and keep it for long enough to put 20-30 hours into it, rent it. Otherwise, you can buy this game on the cheap... like $20-$30 if you check eBay.

The NPC AI really shows how half assed of a game this was.

It's a half assed game that is extremely fun though! I love just running around that mall, and killing zombies, and since you can replay the game with your 'experienced' character, then it's awesome. The Story isn't really that great, nor is it much to care about, but it's just FUN, nothing special, just fun. Go get the game, especially with it's price tag now.
