Online has it's flaws with lag, but when playing on a 4 bar connection you can easily adjust to it. However, I will admit the single player was very disappointing. It is very lacking in story, and way too short. Making it feel no different than a arcade run through. Making this game definately a MP based game. This is not really a big deal though.
