"with the ability to download other players maps we doubt the online experience will die anytime soon."

Of course with Pariah being a high budget, albeit polished title you could always expect some online shenanigans and rarely does Pariah disappoint in this department. Up for grabs is standard deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag variants which compliment nicely the Front Line Assault and siege modes. In siege two teams battle it out on a map to defend or destroy an objective where as in Front Line Assault you battle it out in a team to try and gain control of certain points on a map. However the biggest talking point in Pariah's extensive multiplayer experience is the ability to create a map that can be played online. Three different types of map can be created to be played on Xbox Live, deathmatch, team deathmatch and siege. Just about anything can be placed on the map, the terrain can be lowered, raised and effects like fog, ambient music and sky colour can be altered. Of course vehicles, ammo and weapons can all be placed in strategic locations exactly as you see fit. Its certainly a rush to see a roster full of players enjoying your own prized map, and with the ability to download other players efforts we doubt the online experience will die anytime soon.

Sadly Pariah isn’t quite the Halo beater we had hoped for though, but it still stands head and shoulders above most of the other shooters released on the Xbox this year. The single player mode may well be a short (but equally enjoyable experience) but once you sign into Xbox Live and start creating and downloading those user created maps, Pariah soon evolves into one of the most enthralling multiplayer experiences in the Xbox Catalogue.
