I found it brutally difficult on the hardest difficulty. So much so that I don't like it and haven't completed a single mission in that mode. For me the game is only really enjoyable with people you like to co-op with, though the AI is pretty decent. The versus mode is very enjoyable. For me a 4 out of 5, though I'm likely trading my copy in soon as its just not my style of game.
It's definitely built to play with others. If you try it by yourself, you may seriously wonder what people see in this game. But once you've got a friend or three with you, screaming for help when they get jumped by a monster, you'll get it. This game is all about the experience of playing with others.

It is definitly worth a try for the co-op experience, but it wont be long before you're looking for a different game.
Limited choice of guns, no interactivity with anything, just run and shoot.
Personally I'd tell people to look for a better game
It may sound and look like fun, but once playing you will soon get tired of the repetitivness of the game.
Teamwork is essential so it can be good on co-op, just wont last long.
Limited weapons, no interactivity what so ever, each level is basically the same.
