At first glance, this is a pretty cookie-cutter FPS for the PS3, however, when I got to jump in with friends and play through either the story mode or the multiplayer it was a great time.
I found the story of this game interesting. It is set in an alternate 1950s, where aliens invaded the world and turned humans into insectoid hybrids. You play as an American soldier trying to stop the invasion. It's a simple plot but the fantastical twist lets it be more interesting as a player.
The gameplay was improved by this as well, with unique guns being found and utilized throughout the game. I loved using every single one of them, though I loved using the Auger Rifle the most. the gunplay was snappy and the difficulty felt fair most of the time. The biggest draw for this game was the couch coop. Me and my friend would love to boot this up and play some of the missions together, and it was always a blast.
This game does have some faults though. The story mode was not very long and once that was beat, you only had the multiplayer modes to go through. If you didn't want to play that, you spent your money on a 10-hour story. This is especially true when you look at the games it was competing with at the time, mainly Call of Duty and Battlefield. Regardless, if you like FPS games then you should try this game out. I had a blast with it and is one of my favorites from this generation of gaming.
