I loved V2, so straight away bought this for the 360. However, I've had it for several weeks and am still stuck on the third level. Maybe it's just me being cr@p at the game, but this is definitely harder than the prequel.

For example, I enter an area where there are no noise distractions or things to break that will cause noise distractions. There are at least seven guys around. The moment I shoot one then the rest straight away come looking for me and if the meter turns red then I have a shed load all after me. There is often nowhere to run that doesn't have soldiers in it, and even if I do manage to get away then I invariably run into a new area with soldiers in.

Having to run away every single time regardless of how far away the shot was taken is very annoying. Using stealth avoids this but then doesn't get you the bonus side missions (unless I literally have to go to every soldier and stab them from behind).

Checkpoints - well as I'm sure you've seen, there are hardly any. This means that as soon as I clear an area I have to save it. If I forget then I have to re-go through all of what I've just spent 20 minutes doing all over again.

As for this bit I'm stuck on with the tank, well the drawings on the loading screen indicate it should be shot in the front tank area. This didn't work so I've tried shooting it in the rear, but still nothing. In the meantime I get blown up and have to rekill the soldiers all over again whilst trying to get a steady shot on the tank. I'm not a quitter on games, but when I've just spent an hour and a half on a level and still not completed it my patience is tested.

Multiplayer is okay from what I've played so far. The co-op missions are good, but the moment you mess up then yet again, you have about 30 soldiers all running fast against two guys.

The single player multiplayer (if you know what I mean) is okay, but most of my kills have come from being respawned near to someone and then stabbing them.

I remember from V2 the second/third mission was very tough but then I loved the rest, so I'm hoping the same will happen with this if I can ever get past it!
