I would like to suggest that Activision act on hiring QA for there products. The problems this thing has running are things that were solved ten years ago. The only thing working so far is the marketing. Shame on me.

Update: What a great community. Found the answer here and all I had to do was turn everything on video off. Nevermind the fact that A.V. selected the settings that crashed pretty regularly, winding it all the way to nothing let me play the game.

With that I can add that being able to go through the chapters with out constantly restarting was very nice. The single player mode (the only place I have been so far) is a good movie although pretty predictable plot-wise. It is a corridor shooter in that aspect. There is one place where you get more choices but it is pretty strictly defined so I would include even those chapters. But it plays well in the limited solo case and objectives change flavor enough to keep interest. I'm not sure the "level-up" system has any merit but it does give you something to do.

With these caveats, I would recommend an on-sale version of this game if you want to kill 7-9 hours.

For multiplayer or co-op you will have to check someone else's review. I've not explored those.
