Not sure why I wanted to go back and finish it up. Something just clicked I guess, so I did, on my terms. Hopefully that doesn’t change too much here in a few weeks. Great football game, but will not change your mind if you never cared for them before.

What a grind this game was. Simulation racer that is decent at best. It takes a good while to do the career mode. Roughly 568 laps at 2 minutes a pop, which is almost 19 hours. All in all, it takes 30+ hours to complete everything. 30 minutes of fun to be had if you are lucky. Not a hard game to do, just long and snoring.

I think I got it done last Sunday. I can sum it up in one word: Disappointing. Yes, it’s better than the first, but it has a ton of problems. One being how it freezes up in co-op and drops you from the game. It’s also extremely laggy for the person not hosting. There’s a good reason why the demo didn’t feature co-op, the net code is horrible. The online stuff takes a good chunk of time due to all the sore losers out there. It’s sad to see that so many of my fellow gamers are quitters. You need to get your ass kicked before you get good at almost anything in life. Learn from your beatings, don’t run like cowards. I for one, won’t run off with my tail between my legs.

Not a very good fighting game to be honest. The strangest thing about the game is that there’s a character that has the right bear arms. Everyone else is rockin’ giant sticks, swords, and blades. If used by the right person, the guy with the shotgun should always win. Too bad you can’t use him in story mode. For Survival mode, bring your shotgun and bust some caps.

I know it’s an extremely popular game and most people will try to down play it. I think it’s a hell of a single player game. I don’t dig the MP at all, but the single player is top notch. Everybody and their brother has played this by now, but if you haven’t, you should give it a shot. The best western game ever made. Easily in the top 10 games of the year. Looking forward to more single player content, which will take away my completion. 🙁
