I really like the variety of scenarios you get to play through. Each time is unique as well, something may happen that didn't happen previously. Maybe someone hit a silent alarm or the location of something has changed.

I've been playing this all afternoon (release day) and it is amazingly fun and difficult. There are about 10 maps from what I have seen but there are randomized parts to each map that make it very different.

Boyfriend has been very happy and enjoys the game. Graphics are good and its very enjoyable game,

planning action guns money; animations not great

This game is great! The weapons are customize-able, the skill tree's are great, there is good play-ability as the game can be very challenging, the AI is good but it can be frustrating by not being able to issue orders and the police going berserk with blitzkrieg style assaults.

On the surface, Payday 2 , like the first Payday, looks like Left 4 Dead with cops instead of zombies. You play one of four characters (Hoxton, Chains, Dallas, or Wolf) as you carefully maneuver through dangerous areas and into secure locations only to get out and away before you're overrun by the...

Lots of variety in how missions play out; Loads of customizable weapons, masks, and skills.

Mediocre graphics and mindless AI kills the immersion; Needs to be played online to be enjoyed

Fittingly, PayDay 2 is a lot like a bank heist. If you pick your crew well, everything comes together like a well-oiled machine, and everybody gets rich. If, on the other hand, you leave the guy with the IQ of a toaster in charge of grabbing the money while you guard the hostages, you've booked...

Playing solo; Production values

" Payday 2 " is a substantial improvement upon the original. It's fun, focused, and requires frenetic management of your team and resources in order to succeed. There's a decent progression system, although I do feel the unlock system is too harsh.

I'm not into multiplayer due to absence of time. Still bought Payday 2 since robbing banks was my dream job since childhood (doing console / PC games instead, which is much more boring than playing them).
