    I got  this game from gamefly and noticed that if I play it on hard I'll get all 1000 points just for playing through it.  But when I get a game from gamefly I have no patience if something is too hard or frustrating, and I'll just send it back without beating it.  While I want all the points, I don't want to get frustrated and send the game back before I beat it.  So I'm just asking people who have played it if hard is frustatingly hard or if it's okay.  Not too hard, but just right.
     
    Of course this is assuming anyone actually played this game.

    Nah it isn't. You'll just have to be smarter than just run and gun. You'll get used to the difficulty pretty quickly. 
     
    Also, the hardest parts is when you're on the train trying out outrun the bikes. If you can get past that, then it's easy sailing. 
     
    The game is pretty short, so you'll be able to beat it in a about quarter of a day.

    My rental service is sending it to me as we speak. A thousand points in it would be nice, but it's not the most important part. The most important part is trying to find a game that's as much fun as 'Robocop Vs Terminator'. Actually I don't think Terminator Salvation is going to change that, but here's hoping.

    I can still get the achievements if I play co-op right?  Because me and my brother were going to play through it.
     
    And thanks for the fast answer Baillie.

    Okay, just to point out, it's not a great game. It's not terrible. It is relatively short, relatively easy, no replay value if completed on hard... 
     
    I'd recommend it for the 1000G though, it's not as bad as avatar, for example. ;)

    @Baillie: lol, yeah I didn't have delusions about it being a good game, but I at least hope it will entertain me for a night or two.

    Seriously, fuck this game. I had a HELL of a time beating some sections on Hard by myself.
