As a fan of this game developer's first game "Magicka" I was coming into this game with high expectations. Expectations that most games and/or movies normally fall short off, having lost the hunger to make a truly great game, merely coasting of the fame of their former titles, or simply making a cheap clone of their first hit. Oh how ArrowHead Game Studios have proved me wrong. Apart from being a top down, the similarities end there. Combining the level up system, multiple weapons with customisations, perks, upgradeable stratagems, vehicles, planets, and their different biomes, cooperative play, and the game's system in which everyone from around the world works together to take control of the galaxy one section at a time. I have a very hard time considering any other top down shooter even half decent at this point. The developers took the genre to the next level. The depth they brought to top down shooters and cooperative play on a global scale make this game quite unlike anything else.
