red wing -> the description above clearly sates "Both characters can complete the game separately". Which means you can play as either/or on single player. Everyone just needs to read up on stuff before they post. sry, it's a pet peeve of mine.

It looks super cool and I bet Hunter is a runaway because I saw in lots of pics of other cats that are like him only they look almost evil. I love Hunter! He was one of my favorite people in the old games and I have like three desktop back rounds I made of him in picasa2!!!!!smilie
