The game is incredibly short if you don't plan on playing online and there is no real reason to replay as the other characters as they have no unique abilities or special movies to unlock. It should also be noted that this game requires 1gb of your hard drive, which is not only alarming even in this day of the standard 30gb hard drives, but also rather surprising considering the lack of substance this game offers. Escape online is what this game is all about. The unique and varied styles of game options give you plenty of variety when hosting or joining an Internet session. Funcom has made hosting and joining games very easy.
Players can register on their site and then they are ranked as they participate in online sessions.
Their server will also store your nickname used for online chatting. If you are hosting a session of No Escape your IP address will be registered on the Funcom matchmaking server for the next one hour so other gamers can easily locate and join your game. I did notice a lack of available players when seeking out online competition. I had to try on three different nights before I ever found a game to join and when I tried hosting my own game on two different occasions no one ever joined in. There are plenty of preset messages for individuals and teams and you can also customize these selections and assign them to the various function keys.
