I've recently watched a friend of mine play this game in Single Player mode, and he was having a blast. It looked great, and your explanation was just as good as his to me in person about what the hell was going on.
Nice review, and once I get over my recent stint back into HALO (preparing for the release of HALO 2), I will surely get this game. Of course, if HALO 2's release get pushed back again, this will certainly be at the top of my list.
Hmm, maybe I'll just purchase it now and force myself to play it when I have free time. I have many games I've done that for. Good stuff.
Yeah, like I said, single-player is fun, I'm just not entirely sure if I 'd recommend buying it solely for single-player. Just like I'm not sure if I'd recommend buying Mario Kart: Double Dash!! or Super Smash Bros. Melee just for single-player. Either way, the single-player is definitely fun, and the multiplayer is by far one of the most addictive gaming experiences I've ever had. It's a beautiful game, with great music and a ton of atmosphere. Plus, it's got Moogles, and Moogles kick the living ass out of nearly everything in the universe.
