I got this pack on a whim, for photo mode moreso than anything - but as it turns out... the music player is by far one of my most appreciated bits.

There are actually quite a number of absolute gem selections. Adjustable volume ensures that you can set it low enough to still be able to hear your surroundings, or quite loud if you just don't care.

Photo mode is pretty decent, having a number of features you'd expect from something of the like, though it does have a degree of limitations, like having to mind line of sight for your camera. Nevertheless, a decent little addition.

The dances are quirky, but good - although they're not on a seamless loop, so you can easily see where the animation ends and restarts.

All in all, I still think it's a pretty cool supporter pack.

Honestly, it's like what I wanted out of Diablo III, with the ability to mesh together two classes and become, in essence, what I want to be.

In my short timespan in the game, I may have hit the end of the 'content' but I didn't quite hit the end of the 'content.' There's far more to the game than just the main quest.

"I wonder what's in this cave? Oh, a nice demon thing and OMG IT'S 8 LEVELS HIGHER!"
'We should run.'
"Nah, we got th-OMG okay he hurts."
'Nah, you got this!'
"No, we should ru-OW!"
'Okay, maybe we should go....'
"Oh hell naw, this guy's going down now."

You'll run into that. Numerous times.

Of all of my heists, all of my achievements, all of my infamy, all of my... well... pretty much everything... I still don't have that drill that doesn't jam. I still don't have the ability to snatch a pager before the guard hits the ground. But somehow, I can duck-walk between a guards legs without him seeing me. Yet a guard, on a radio, miles away, can tell when he drops a stupid pager....

So, would I recommend this game? Well of course I'd reco.... hang on... I gotta fix my stupid drill....

How long has this game been out? I'm still playing it? What? No way.... A vast amount of replayability, innumeral amounts of mods out there on a multitude of communites, all ranging from mundane to utterly appalling.... From retextures of rings to flat out XXX adult content.

Uh, yeah... I'd say the game is worth it. If you haven't already, you should play it. If you don't own it, you should. It's a game that I can honest say I've spent plenty of time in, and every time I play, I get the urge to make more content, or look for more elsewhere.

Alright, follow suite of the majority of my fellow gamers who purchased this game under the guise that it would have co-op play.... No. It does not. Nor did it mention the lack of such literally until just as the game released.

However, unlike the majority of the gamers, I've experienced no visual lag or frame drops, and the input lag mentioned was fixed simply by turning "Fast Mouse" on in the options.... My mouse was no longer 'smoothed' out, causing me to look past what I was attempting to look at.

The first episode, however, was upsettingly short, leaving me, of course, wanting a bit more out of my game, and, yes, I know that more is coming, however... Raid mode, should... I hope, keep me interested in this game, except... oh wait... I'm still all alone, aren't I? -sigh-

Aside from that, the game actually plays relatively well, and, it has it's few surprises here, or there.... But from the standpoint of someone who followed the series from the first released back on the PSX.... yeah... nothing surprising.

I've already found an annoying unlock glitch, as in, the final character I have to unlock in Raid mode specifies I must have 90 or more Completion Medallions... I have 100... still haven't unlocked that final character....

Can I recommend the game in it's current state... well... honestly...? I could... yes. If you're interested in playing the game specifically for continuation of the series, or scratching some completion itch... sure. If you want the game to go crazy with a friend... no, I can't....

But, in a nutshell:

- No co-op, yet. Of any kind. Despite any description above, none.
- First episode is disappointingly short. Comparable to one chapter in RE5.
- Survivalist difficulty actually does offer some challenge.
- Raid mode, as well, can offer challenge, but is mostly the same rinse and repeat kill everything and leave.
- Personal experience was, no video issues whatsoever, but... according to others? Maybe?
- Personal experience; ?Bug? preventing me from unlocking final character in Raid mode?
- All things considered, it's not bad, nor is it something I'd straight up tell everyone to buy.

Side note, to those claiming the game has crazy amounts of DLC already... I dunno... I bought the complete season in advance and... it came with the first 23 dollars worth of DLC.... so... uh... sure. The others, as in, the weapon/parts/album slots... seem relatively unnecessary.... So, if you have the complete season, you really don't have any DLC to download as of this time....

Anyway, just my outlook.

Cheers.
