Will have to look into playing the demo online, see how I feel about it after. It would be a shame to discard a perfectly good game because I played it out of it's element. However, I've an entirely irrational prejudice against games that are <em>only</em> intended as collaborative/vs games. You'd think I'd have learned from Bomberman that I just end up missing out because of it! I think I suspected all o’ that, actually.

The AI in single player is too good on your team, as you pointed out, and I was becoming frustrated, but enjoying the online multiplayer. Nothing, however, beats the experience of sitting on the couch with someone and both of you freaking out and jumping and yelling, "It's got its tongue around my neck, HELP MEEEEEE!"
