Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
This one sat in my backlog for 10 years.. thought it had gotten so old and dusty that I had to bump it to the top of the list and just play it already.. honestly the graphics are so good it looks like it could've come out yesterday as a really nice looking AA game.. does it have problems.. yes.. is it linear.. yes.. is it short.. yes.. is multiplayer dead.. yes... but it was fun.. it was beautiful and cinematic.. the gameplay really clicked and it was a great ride.. it takes a second to wrap your head around the controls but really simple actually.. all combat is performed with your right hand..
