Comments about the jetpacks? Do they increase in strength? How much
do they vary depending on player type/loadout? I am trying to get to
a high place. Seems the mountains are a bit too slippery and the
jetpack is not powerful enough.

Single player, the weakest difficulty level Trivial is too hard.
Otherwise, looks very fun so far. Still not sure about the jetpack
functionality, maybe it somehow works better with a combination of
other keys.

You can upgrade weapons, armour, and the jetpack in Section 8. You can
jump higher, for longer and have faster recharge rates.

I see one slot for upgrading the jetpack function in loadout
setup. Can you upgrade it in-game too?

Thanks.

Is there a way to start the game and skip all of the introductions?

Can the game be made to work with a joystick or a gamepad?

The game works out the box with a 360 gamepad.

Looks like it's made by Fisher-Price,
but hey, I like Fisher-Price.

Thanks for the lead.

Is their location/website that lists active servers and the number of
players online?

You have to pay to run a Section 8 server?

If players on a server must have a valid unique CD key, therefore
every player means another retail copy of the game sold, I cannot
imagine why a game company would force server operators to pay for
encouraging gamers to pay for and then play the game.

If having to pay to run a server is common, why is that?

Thanks.
