    Section 8: Prejudice is a must-own XBLA title.

    While it definitely has a "something borrowed" gameplay and visual style, and a instantly forgettable, brief single-player mode, its invigorating and intense Xbox Live multiplayer at such a well-worth-it bargain price provides gamers more than enough incentive to enlist into Section 8: Prejudice's call of duty.

    The gameplay is engaging (if not completely problem free), the presentation is quite fitting and the multiplayer components are excellent. Feel free to go Section 8 on your wallet and buy this game with extreme Prejudice. You won't be sorry.

    Doesn't feel like a true upgrade to the original, and there's plenty of room for improvement. But with a lengthier single player campaign, action-packed multiplayer battles, and the promise of more game modes in the near future, all for the bargain price of fifteen dollars (and no need to waste gas to pick it up), there's certainly enough incentive to add it to your repertoire.

  1. One of the best xbox live arcade games. The DCMs which are side missions that you can do to gain points to buy vehicles, turrets, and support items. The use of that changes the game entirely. You spawn by halo diving in anywhere in the map, which is pretty awesome, you can also land on people if you have a lot of skill. You can use points to drop AAs which stop people from spawning in that area. It is a cycle, an amazing cycle that works as long as you have a great team. Also executions with a mech is awesome Expand
  2. Fianlly a multiplayer shooter that encourages teamplay and tactics. It takes more to win this game then pointing the crosshair at your enemy's face and pressing the trigger (also described as "skill" by some people). If you don't wonna be seen, kill the sensor arrays. If you don't want to be locked on, drop a sensor jammer. Is your enemy using incinerate ammo? Upgrade your armor for more fire resistance! Are you constantly jammed? Jump into a mech and beat the crap out of them! Is a sniper sitting on a montain top guarded by an AA turret camping the map? Buff your armor with upgrades and jump on his head - problem solved. There are counter-measures for almost everything. Graphics are totally ok for a $15 game. I give it 8/10 because of AutoBalancing and the lack of a pre-game lobby. Expand
  3. The story is very short and the multilayer isn't the greatest Ive ever played but for 8 bucks it's worth buying. Note: The multilayer requires a lot of teamwork so if you don't like working with your team then this game isn't for you. Expand
  4. Do not buy. This is a team game that does not have party matchmaking or joining. You cannot team up with your friends. Joining a server results in a random chance of you on the same team with your friend, against them, or if you start on the same team then all ranked servers have autobalance which can separate you from your friends later on. For a team game, this feature is a deal breaker and I warn all prospective buyers that for the cheap price this arcade title is, it is cheap because it has poor multiplayer features. Do not buy. Better team games to spend your hard earned money on no matter how little. The devs promised they would fix this feature from the previous game despite all the complaints on their forums now and years ago. They still haven't fixed it and lied again. Do not support these devs and their empty promises. Expand
