You can get some multiplayer games going if you join PSN communities and go to the Rigs reddit and make some friends. However, just trying matchmaking won't work. Something that I never understood about Rigs other than you can do single player 3v3 games in leagues to hit singleplayer is that there are a lot of unlockables. There are 4 different mechs and within that there is like 6-7 special abilities like getting health after a kill is an example of one. There are also "Trials" where you get to run through rings in a level, shoot targets, fight enemies, etc. in sort of a chain and they progressively get harder. I thought this was pretty neat. There is also a lot of customization for your pilot that you can unlock and sponsor challenges that you can do in your offline or online matches since they are separate. I can only imagine how great this game would be with multiplayer being filled with other players. However, if you go into it expecting to play against bots with some challenges and a lot of unlockables I think you will not regret this purchase. The level of polish is amazing in this game and the difficulty is there to win and demolish since initially the game is pretty confusing since there is just so much to choose from. For the $16.00 I got it for via GCU I think it was worth the price.
