This isn't a blockbuster hit as far as I know, but I picked this up on Saturday and have already beaten Easy and Normal, now working on Hard. I find this to be a pretty difficult game, considering that on Hard there are no healthpacks, which means going through an entire level without healthpacks is tough. Anyone else play this? It's definitely worth it for 20 bucks (It's on the Playstation 2).

Hmm...it always looked pretty sweet and now that you mention it I kind of want to run out and buy it. *considers*

But I already have a ton of crap to play so we shall see.

i thought this game was pretty average. I felt the only thing that really made it difficult was that you had to basically unload an entire clip into a guy before he died. takes forever to kill an enemy. The environments were pretty destructable, but theres bad coding and stuff one time i blew up a walkway that a dead guy was laying on, well the walkway dropped but the guy flaoted there 20 feet off the ground.

Blowing up a giant gas storage tank with a rocket launcher was awesome, but not 20 bucks awesome.

i heard it was awesome but it got bad reviews because there wasn't any multiplayer. i've been thinking about getting it, but i have too many games to worry about it now.

It's great. I had it, but sold it along with my Xbox. I was just thinking about it again today.

I've got it, meh it was fun but wore thin, gave up playing on the last level, havent gone back to it. There was no motivation to what you were doing, it's just "you start here, shoot a load of identical guys on the way to here", only a rental imo.

Nothing on the mighty 'Spidders.

I rented this one on a whim one time, thinking the name was referring to "Black Ops' and covert stuff, a la Splinter Cell. Needless to say, I was quite surprised when the title screen was composed of numerous LOUD guns being fired repeatedly.

Wasn't quite what I had in mind.
