So I went and picked up Battlestations last week after playing the demo with some clanmates.  I've played a bit of the single player and had a blast playing multiplayer last night (though I still have no idea how I got a 0 that one time).

I must admit however, that I am at a crossroads on whether to keep this one for a while or trade it in shortly.  The single player (IMO) is extremely weak and doesn't give me the feeling of wanting to keep going when playing.  The few missions I've done so far (I think 4 or 5) don't seem to matter if I am there or not.  I go through the mission and by the end I don't feel like I've accomplished a thing.

On the multiplayer side, I've had a great time playing with some of the guys in the clan.  The maps do seem a bit unbalanced making one team a huge underdog over the other.  I've found that I am mainly back in the tactical map trying to plot out strategy rather than shooting at the opposition.  I do wish that you were able to open communication up for both teams so smaller rooms could bullshit together if you chose to go without strategy.

I am trying to look past my thoughts on the single player (since Chromehounds was similar) and hope that this game can build some legs with multiplayer.  It would likely be a blast if 8 people were able to hook up and take control of various functions.  Over the next few weeks time will tell how this game stands before I decide to move on.

Ya know I've been questioning whether or not to get this game for a little while now & I think I'm leaning towards the nay.. You think of doing a write-up for the front page? I definitely found your blog entry useful & I'm sure if you wrote a good review, the rest of the site members would enjoy it.. Just a thought from me but Game Reviews are one of the biggest reads for the front page. -jas

yeah do up a review man, I am in the "on the fence" camp and don't want to waste 60 bucks
