By the power of Greyskull, there are already 3 people who have maxed this game. :S

Also: this game is very hard.

I really want to play this more, but am loathe to do so as I don't want to get too far ahead before Canuck and South join in :S

What's over that lovely rendered hill?

Why it's Dimrill hiding behind a rock being a scamp. Pershaw!

Having played all 4 characters up to level 5, I prefer the soldier and brick's special powers. Soldier's turret guns things down good, and brick's you run around listening to him go "Bleurgh! Huwooga bluergh boooglah! Hungerdy bunga!" for 15 seconds.

I won't be on tonight, however. I have been awake for going on 30 hours again and I've just taken my bye bye tablets.

Oops, my wallet slipped. Does this have jump in-out co-op (as there are more than 4 people who have it), or is it the sort of thing where you all have to play it through together?

Yep.

I like it, not sure I love it. However I took it for a whirl at around 4 with the intention of only playing for twenty minutes...nearly three hours later however.

/EDIT: Having now played some co-op it is vital that the characters are at the same level or within a 1 or 2 level tolerance. If you are the lowest level char then you'd better get used to losing all your cash re-lifing as there is no scaling up of damage but there does seem to be a scaling down of XP.

Change of opinion...I love it, it scratches that MMO OCD thing while providing an interesting game. Gotta love a bit of gun porn.

I just got back from the hell of Saturday afternoon Cwmbran with a copy of this in a nice card sleeve, also Forza 3.

Will get going after the football and join in the online fun once I've got the hang of it.

My thing still tells me to follow robot dude, but he's uncommunicative and going nowhere.

That's what I thought. If it's successful, he'll start talking to the guy in the house after the last raider pegs it, then a door will open. I found the best policy is to wade in quick at that last area. Holding off and picking them off one by one meant the bug happened again.

OK now I'm happy, the bug did not reappear and I got to double my takings and XP from the first little phase of the game. Cheers Dimrill, I'd have been on to Forza 3 by now if I hadn't learned this.

It's really really brilliant!

I was having decent enough fun until the moment I went to get grenades and decided to shell out on a pistol twice as powerful as anyhting else I've got, thus enabling me to one-shot-kill the little armoured rat dog thingers. Now the whole thing has clicked into place and I'm hella happy. I wonder what direction this was taking before Fallout 3 was released, though ;)
