If you're playing on your own, at the start of the game it will ask you which of the characters you want to be (not going to give details of the characters because that would be a spoiler). If you're playing it co-operatively, split screen or online with a friend, then there isn't a chance to choose who you want to be. But that doesn't matter anyway as both are just as good as each other, just with different armour. The basic training for the game is "alright" to say the least. The reason I say this, is because it gets the job done, but its not exactly enjoyable compared to some training sessions like...Call of Duty 4 perhaps. But anyway I didn't buy the game for the training session, that would be stupid. The beginning of the game (including the training sessions) is actually the title sequence of the game, in the way that you play a level and then you see the title appear.
The levels are long, sometimes hard, but amazingly fun. I bought it about a week ago and played with a friend, him and I started playing at 10pm and didn't finish until 5:30am the following morning. That's how much the story and gameplay keeps you gripped. There's lots of action, a good story line and as you progress through the game its like you get to know the specific character that you chose to play.
One final think I am going to comment on are weapons and the customization. To start off with...a spoiler...well it will be to those of you that haven't played it..but is there ANY need for that stupidly-overkilling-exscuse-for-a-weapon minigun?! Seriously you take it into the game hold down the fire button and everything in its line of fire is gone. That's not really fun is it? The whole idea is to be tactical, subtle and to get the job done...Not be like the heavy from TF2 (although he DOES get the job done).
Final comment though on the customization. Again a spoiler so don't read if you don't want to. I think this is one of the best features of the game, the way you can customize almost everything. You can customize your primary, secondary and special weapon as well as your armour. This is a pretty cool feature of the game.
Final Thought Byte : My final thoughts are that this game is a brilliant game. Most reviews will tell you that this game is rubbish, and it's not worth buying. To be honest, I thought it was bad but then I went out and bought it myself and I have to say, its something else. This game also caught my eye because it is purely co-operative play and there are proper tactics involved.
