the graphics look even worse in motion, the characters turn at the waist like action figures, the music, dialogue and sound effects are aweful too. The menu system is like an old Megadrive menu, no auto-save, no online coop and you have to complete the game 6 times for all achievements.

... still one of the best games i've played

That is pretty much my same experience playing it with my roommate at the time. We would laugh so loud my neighbors would yell "SHUT UP!"

It probably takes about 20-30 hours to complete the game, getting all the level achievements (weapon achieve is all luck) and i've played about 85 hours, most of it just pissing about. Trying new weapons, blowing up all buildings and other crap.

I still need 11 weapons (which is stupid unlucky) after 85 hours, possibly the ONLY person in the world :/

It looks far more polished than I expected. Icing on the cake.

I was a little worried with Sandlot not on the case, but i can see that they've tried to add something new with the classes and the new bugs.

I'm hoping they are fans of the original, they will know what to keep and what to improve on. Keep ridiculous amounts of bugs and 300+ weapons of mass destructinormousnus! 6 difficulties including the ever frustrating Inferno and completely destructable everything.

Then they can change everything else.

ohhhhh yeeaaaaahhhhh!!! i give you the Pesticide Gun

The game will feature over 300 weapons, including the Pesticide Gun.

These guns do a "massive amount" of damage and have a large damage radius, but they are Tier 8 weapons; this means that you have to do a massive amount of annihilation before you can earn them. Unfortunately, they are also a one-shot reload. The game features four upgradeable armour sets, and each of these armour sets has one type of Pesticide Gun allocated to it.

Senior Producer Interview - Brian Etheridge

It's a good read, detailing some new enemies, Mantis and Daddy Longlegs. The 4 new armors and hints at their abilities and how you can only use certain weapons with a specific class. Online and Offline coop, vehicles and other gameplay elements.
