The looting is fun, but I feel that the combat is the real hook. Lots of guns and modifiers (I'm always switching them up), lots of big shoot-outs, and lots of scattered body parts. The AI isn't special when plinking from a distance, but when you jump into the heart of a big fight, there's all sorts of enemy flanking, grenade throwing, barrel-shooting etc. It's hectic and quite a rush. I have to agree with the comment that the whole world seems kind of empty. On the upside, you get to shoot just about everyone you see.

How is the co-op in the game?

It is fun.

Yep. Righteous. The difficulty gets a nice bump with each added player..

About how much time does it take to complete the game and can you completely ignore the single player aspect of it in favor of cooperative play?

You can do the whole game in co-op, or (more or less) seamlessly jump in and out of 1P and co-op in the same play-through. I'm sure the play time varies depending on how many side quests you take up.. Figure 20 hours moving briskly, and twice that (or more) if exploring everything.

My quest to level 50 begins tonight. If any of you want to join me in my 2nd playthrough for MASSIVE EXPERIENCE GAIN, just lmk.

Awesome! I might have Forza 3 waiting in my mailbox too....

Anyone else having connection issues on Live? I can connect to random people but not to friends who are inviting me to sessions. I accept and it just stays on the same screen....
