This is one sweet shooter. It's a lot harder then it looks & gets pretty intense at times.

I haven't gotten to try SP yet, I'm still finishing up Episode 2.

Glad you like the game! :)

What do you mean you have not tried SP ? (SP stands for single-player I suppose)

This is a great game and I love the fact there is a Linux version of it. I have really been enjoying playing it. I may not be the best player but it is a lot of fun. I also like that you can do one level in about 15-25 minutes. So if you want to play a short game you can without any problems.
