I saw a friend play this game and one thing just instantly caught my eye: Why can't I instantly join his carnage campaign playing on my own computer with my own Lo Wang incarnation? Consequently the new Shadow Warrior has one big flaw that's exactly the same deal-breaker (at least for me) as in Duke Nukem Forever... It has NO CO-OP MULTIPLAYER??! Why?! Why don't you (developers) think about such an opportunity to increase the replay (and also the general play) value of your game a thousandfold? The level (and narrative) structure is perfectly fitting for co-op gameplay and it would be a lot more fun than playing the game alone.. At least in my opinion (and the opinions of some of my friends). Other than that, I have to admit that both the Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem games are nice reboots that provide a couple of hours of fun gameplay. In that point I agree with most user reviews. But it still would have been much better with co-op! Like in the good old times. The old games feature co-op modes...! OK, now I hope that I've made my point and that some of the games developers read this post and either patch their games to add a co-op mode or provide the damn source code (or other means) to the community so that they can implement such a modification. Without co-op I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars, with co-op it could be 5 out of 5 stars. Again, it's a bit of a wasted opportunity and that disappoints me just a wee little bit....
Is this Blake Stone supposed to be Dolph Lundgren's brother? ;)
