I finally slugged through the xbox version and beat it over the holiday weekend.  It's really an overhyped game.  The wowness wore off extremely quick.

So it's still the handicapped version that no one wants to play. Had they developed the army version more I could have seen enjoying it more. The arcade version was WEAK.  :evil:
