Verdict
The Co-Op Experience: The game offers a few cooperative options. It should be noted that playing through the single player story is not available in co-op play. Hangman's Noose You and your 1-3 friends must take down the cops guarding a crime boss, Kenny, who's on a grounded plane at the airport. There's a few options here to tweak the mission and make it dynamic. There's also some cut scenes and dialog to go along with it. BOMB DA BASE II Description: A rival export business has a ship sitting in the docks waiting to be loaded. You must steal the explosives gain access to the ship and plant two bombs, one on the bridge, the other in the hold. Make sure you're not on the ship when she blows. Those are Mr. Petrovic's orders. Deal Breaker A co-op mission that requires players to assault a construction site captured by enemies, then chase a group of enemies before they escape. The game also features a free roam mode in co-op which basically lets you do whatever you want, even though there's no mission structure. Think of it as one giant playground of destruction.
