Rented (will be buying tomorrow), and on the 360 mate, my feelings about the PS3 are the polar opposites to yours at the moment. If it wasn't for Rock Band it would have been the worst purchase I've ever made in my life - so it's a good job that Rock Band is the best purchase I've ever made in my life!
It's offline co-op I've been playing, but I'm reliably informed by the nephew that online co-op is exactly the same.
It really is a great little game though, I wouldn't pay full RRP because I would only buy it for the co-op, but last night the missus and I played it for hours. It's so satisfying, earning money and upgrading your weapons to make it easier for yourself.
The AGGRO system is great as well - there's a bar that swings from you to the other person in the middle of the screen. If one of you is doing all of the shooting, you get all of the AGGRO, and so everybody is trying to gun you down - leaving the other person virtually invisible to sneak up behind them and kill them, or achieve a mission objective. I'd call it tactical, but it's dumbed-down tactical, seeing as that's the only tactic.
