Nice. I'm playing through on Insanity now, and I think it's a good challenge. Aemon Send a noteboard - 05/02/2010 02:17:02 AM
I'm not at all sure it's worthy of the "Insanity" moniker, but I definitely feel challenged. I've had to load a couple times in virtually every major battle, but no more than two or three times in any of them. I mostly just need a chance to see what's going on. For example, I just did a part with infinitely spawning guys. Wasn't sure if they were infinite till I was just about empty on ammo (you'd think I'd learn, but I wasn't sure how many spawns there were on insanity). Once I knew they were infinite, I was fine.

Anyway, I really like it. I'd almost suggest playing insanity for the first playthrough, but I think maybe one down would be a solid choice.
