I have the demo. Never got around to getting the full version.

Its a cool game: one of the only games I played for days straight since Flashpoint. I reccomend it, and I hate everything.

I played it through once, then started to play it through again... but the replay value is kind of limited. You already know what all the missions are, and the script of how the game goes. The only variance is in what mad scheme you choose to unleash upon the world, but that's only different in the final movie, so far as I could tell.

So I kinda got bored with it after that.

I did learn to hate Dirk Masters with a passion. Frickin' M-60 twink. Taking him out was highly satisfying.

Yeah I agree. I've not replayed in a month, and I never finished it: as soon as I decided to go back and kill the first two super agents before moving base, I got horribly bored and didn't play again. Its a shame, but alot of games are like that. Dynamic campaigns for all.

I haven't finished it either, what irks me about this game is the whole base planning shit, I pretty much had to cheat just to get every room and thing so I could pre-plan my base, then restart the game so I could put every room in the "correct" place and with the right size so I wouldn't get stuck and had to blow up the entire network of corridors or something.

I bought it just recently, and yeah, I love it. I have one game where I use cheat codes and then another where I am playing it without cheating. very cool.

I'm waiting on the mods to come out...

I have it. I love it. TIP: Research as much as you can until you have the autoguns. Build dozens of autoguns and make sure that the superagents cant stand up for more than 15 seconds without getting knocked back down. oh my god that is so much fun.

cheating in a multiplayer game would actually be worse

I played the demo, so I had a pretty good idea of how to do room layouts and so on, only made a few mistakes on my first play through. I started a second game, but got bored sometime around eliminating Dirk Masters again.

It is funny as hell to cause him to go into roid rage, then watch him pound through all the infiltrators into your base.

But really, that was my biggest annoyance. It's like grand freakin' central station through the entryway to your base, even with the concealed entrance and relatively low heat. Mind you, it is a bit amusing to build the ultimate blower-wall of fire-incinerator pit trap right next to the entrance and watch it at work a few times, but after a while just repairing it constantly gets annoying, especially when agents constantly wander in after your minions and set the damned thing off.

Bah.

Could've been so much better. I really had high hopes.

Once you've finished an FPS once, its quite fun to give yourself full weapons, put on God mode and race through the levels slaughtering everything in your path

Usually it's the computer, but once in a while a player will do it too.
