Good review, though I knew most of what you mentioned/covered from other posts here and elsewhere. I'm disappointed that replayability wasn't mentioned at all in this review. My biggest concern with this game is it's duration: most reviews say it's too short. What did y'all think? Do you think co-op gamers will be able to replay this game several times over with the same gamer/partner? Will they want to, or will they tire of it quickly? I loved Gears of War, but after my brother beat it twice in co-op (once with me, once with another guy) he has no real desire to play it again. I could see myself going through it maybe one or two more times, but after that there's no real point.
When I'm down I drive the hearse.

Well - the guy that I played it through with the first time...we decided to immediately go through it again on hard. :) We want to unlock all the weapons and whatnot.

That's good to hear. Do you know roughly how many hours it took y'all to finish? Also, if you think about it later on when you've played through the game a few times, post a follow up about the lifespan. I just can't see it lasting that long, though I'd love for it to do so. I just need to play it first, bottom line.

It was probably about 7 or 8 hours. Maybe a little less.

Thanks for the review. Interestingly this is the first review of serveral I've read to mention the repetitiveness of the enemies.

I'm curious about the online connection issues you've mentioned, were they playing on 360 or PS3, or does the problem happen on both? I'm trying to decide which console to get the game for. Thanks!

We played through it on the Xbox 360.
