Challenging and intense single player campaign. But the most addictive multi-player on the PS3 since CoD4.

This game will keep you from interaction with the outside world. R2 gives you more than your moneys worth with not only a fantastic single player, but a separate, and in many cases more entertaining co-op campaign. The first time I played through the single player I did so on the difficult setting. This was hard. Very, very hard. I consider myself a FPS veteran but this just got ridiculous in some situations. The new halo adopted only being able to carry 2 weapons at once makes ammo a serious commodity. You better be using a weapon that most of your enemies in the area are or you're going to have to melee a lot of enemies. The giant boss fights are difficult but not cheap. You feel a sense of accomplishment after defeating one. R2 makes its money though in multi-player. The co-op campaign could have been it's own separately packaged game. It is awesome. The three classes are beautifully balanced and play perfectly with each other. The missions are hard but not impossible. Teamwork and communication are encouraged and rewarded but not required. The missions are diverse and the battles are intense. The only draw backs I found in this game are the story, a lot of it is told through intel documents that are hard to find, and an issue with the 2 player online co-op that I hope will be fixed soon.
