PC out in like 2 weeks or something, and you gotta deal with Ubi's DRM so it's a no go for me. Also wtf @ game length. I'm getting really f*****g sick of games that you can finish in less time than it takes to watch 2 LOTR movies. $80 for this my ass.

$80 to you is not $80 to them, they sell this at a much much lower price than that, Aus as we all know gouges the s*** of the price of games and game publishers do not market to Australia.

I've pre-ordered this for PC from the UK at a cost of £24.99 ($41.50AUD). Saying that you expect more for your $80-$100 purchase is ridiculous, you don't have to pay that much for it.

As for a short SP campaign, not surprised, online MP/co-op is in demand and helps to combat piracy, SP does not. Get used to it.

Trauma wins.

Oh. why are we stuck in the "the average gamer is under 12" world still.

I agree with the whole product placement argument, But cmon, I thought we'd got past the whole "gamers are kids" view.

Great review but not going into the spec ops missions is a bit of an oversight. Theres at least another 3-4 hrs worth of gameplay in there and teaming up with buddy to synchronise takedowns is nothing short of gaming gold.

In a way it reminds me of the cop buddy movies from 80's where good guys would raid a warehouse for example and they would joke about which goons there going to take down. 'Im gettin to old for this s***'. Maybe thats just me.
