If you buy the game new then no. You'll get the online pass with the game as well as few other unlock codes I believe. My brother was shooting an octopus gun at people that I'm pretty sure he only had cause he bought game new.

You should only ever have to buy an online pass when renting or buying used, that should be the same for all games I believe.

Maybe we should set up a Whored Mode night.....tee hee hee. Anyone tried that yet?

Played Whored Mode with Bud Man 01. It was like seeing Lady Gaga nude, something for everyone and something to make everyone go WTF?.

Definitely a twist with Whored Mode. Pretty funny stuff

A Gimp wielding a Penetrator is disturbing.

My only complaint is that it's too addicting... Well that and I can't play it during the day when my kids or my girlfriends kids are at my place...  Oh and for the first time in a game there was too much character customization allowed. I had to give up and move on.  And this is coming from me who played CoH/CoV and Champions Online.

The intro was over the top...  Loved it and my play it again.

The chaos of having an insane amount of enemies surrounding you is too much fun, just kept going around the block and jacking their cars when the one I was driving burst into flames.

The rickshaw chase...  Seriously, it's worth it for that scene/mission alone.

There is a TON of advancement in a wide variety of areas.

I believe with most (if not all) activities you complete it once and it opens the next level somewhere else, so activities do progress.  You can complete the same activity multiple times, you just don't get all of the bonuses at the end the second, third, fourth... time you complete them.

The characters are great, both enemy and friendly.

All in all a great game.  I got caught up in that and didn't want to put it down to go back to Skyrim or BF3. 

Thankfully there are no other major games I want cause I can't afford it after these three new games.

Two thumbs up!

Yeah, same here.

It's pretty addictive to play and I have found myself spinnig it exclusively in my 360. I need new games like a hole in the head b/c by purchasing, GoW3, BF3, MW3, Skyrim and SR3....I have alot of stuff to do that should last me through 2012. lol

1000g it this last Sunday morning at 3am.  I had a blast playing this title and loved every second of it.  The Missions were hilarious and had that *WTF* feel throughout which wasn't a bad thing.  Think I totaled about 36 hours of game play which also counted the many times I just sat there and destroyed every thing that came in my way.

Activities weren't a chore to do like in SR2.  I started my game just doing these to get them over with because I dreaded some in SR2 but they were actually pretty enjoyable and never had a frustrating moment to get through them.  (by progression I meant the leveling of 1-5 for a single activity like SR2 had)

My only gripe was there were 2 achievements involving Act 1 which depended on the path you took.  If I had known this before hand I would have made a save before the Act to get it over with.  I ended up having to start a new game to get this achievement which took another 2 hours or so.  Every other achievement can be attained in 1 play-through.

I also had some weird bugs where if I started a Vehicle Theft challenge that the vehicles would end up being destroyed, even if I wasn't able to locate the area it was being held.  I would then have to restart it and hope I could find it before it was destroyed again.  This only happened on the stationary hi-jacks.

The challenges are pretty easy and most you'll get over time w/o even trying.  There was one that confused me because I thought I screwed myself over by decreasing the vehicle damage my cars took.  This was the challenge where you had to crash and fly through your windshield a total of 1000ft over time.   The trick for that one is just to start Insurance Fraud and keep ramming into cars or barriers.  When you fail the activity and you will, DO NOT hit retry or it will wipe out what you've accumulated.  Just hit end activity then restart it again if you didn't get your 1000ft.

When your cell phone rings, answer it.  Doing these will save you a lot of time when you're near the end and cleaning up challenges.  These were the last things I had to wait for to complete the game and it took up to 5minutes for the phone to ring.

All in all, this game had a ton of laughs for me and I look forward to and hoping to see more missions added via DLC.

5 Purple D*ldos out of 5

Snap, I've been ignoring the damn cell phone calls   

Answered maybe 4 and let 6 or more go.

Argh!

That's impressive Bizan! Congrats for finishing already. I'm about 36% and in no rush to finish, have spent more time just causing chaos and loving it. This game is hands down 10 out of 10 and has already moved to first place on my all time fav game list.

Bought the Shark Gun and got my 160 MS points worth on first shot, I would have paid 1000MS for that beauty. Probably fav gun in all of gaming now. Did the first few missions for Zimo, OMG is he awesome. Probably the best new character in gaming right now, he totally deserves either his own DLC package for this or maybe even a whole new game. No way I  could ever get tired of hearing that voice, some of those one liners in his synthesized voice (these ho's aint ho's) had me cracking up so hard when playing that I had to pause. Oh, and switched my characters voice to Zombie voice and that has put this game to new ludicrous heights. This game is pure win!!!!

[thinking hurts]

Do have to take one shot at SR3 though; there is no good reason I can think of for them to change vehicle controls. They suck now compared to SR2. Good thing is the game is so damn good that you mostly ignore it. That's probably my only beef with the game so far.


P.S. and Insurance Fraud is too easy, I could play that activity all day long but it's no challenge at all even at Hard. Tried turning up difficulty hoping it would make the target score higher and maybe pay out more for completing but it doesn't.

Controlling people with the Octapus gun is kind fun.

I rented the game for a couple days. It's a blast.  When I have the funds, I have to pick it up.

Finished the campaign on coop last night, still have a few things to do here and there and of course another billion playthroughs but have to say that this is hands down my favourite game ever! Just too bad it was kinda short compared to SR2, also noticed how less there is to do in SR2 but it makes up for it by being a lot more polished in what you can do so good tradeoff.

We need more fun and over the top silly games like the Saints series!
