Rent me first!

What can I say positive about this game? Not much, unfortunately. While I did enjoy my play through, I doubt I would re-visit the game again as there just isn't much reason to do so. As others have said, game play is very repetitive and gets old real quick. Mechanics are simple to master and level design is varied enough to keep from getting boring. There are different types of ammo you can use, but no matter which bullet you're using or what type of enemy you're shooting it just doesn't seem to matter. A lot of the enemies can take a lot of damage and most of the bullets just don't seem to kill them any faster. In fact it almost seems easier just to fore go using your gun and just kill everything with your fists instead.
If nothing else you could play this game for the easy achievements, netting just over 600 gamerscore points in one play through. I haven't found anyone to try out the on-line aspects of the game, but one would think that might add some much need pepto to the game play as both Abe Sapien and Liz Sherman are playable.
If I ran across the game for around $10 I would consider buying, other wise stick to a weekend rental. Overall this game leaves a lot to be desired.
