Can't Wait

A customer from Stockport , 21/11/2008

Can't wait for this game to be released, the first one was amazing and really showed what the PS3 had to offer with it's exclusive games.

Ruined by multiplayer

Good;

The 1 player game is astounding, the gfx are great, monsters increasingly dramatic and the storyline is in depth and captivating. 1p mode is easily the best feature this game has to offer and is even better than the great 1p game on Resistance FoM.

Bad;

This game is BADLY let down by the multiplayer game.

There is no conventional 2player mode, just a Co-Op online mode that can be played offline with 2 players. However offline as the challenges and maps are meant for upto 8people doing it with 2 (and only 2 of the 3 classes) is practically impossible.

Online multiplayer is equally bad, the maps are overly large and confusing.

The ranking system only updates every few days so you can play for a whole night and not see a rank change.

Higher ranked players get overly powerfull upgrades that make you nothing more than cannon fodder at lower ranks. 60 people on a map seems like a good idea but in practicality it's just a frag fest where every time u move above the map u get sniped by 10+ people.

The damage system is complicated and nonsensical; you can put an entire clip into someone point blank and not kill them yet they can turn and if lucky kill u in 2 shots.

Overall this game was a huge dissapointment as it could have been truly epic, worth a rent just for the 1p mode, but thats the only saving feature of this title. Me and 5 others I know bought this on the day of release and had been anticipating it for months. All of these people have now either returned it or sold it pre-owned.

very good story driven 1st person shooter

tomster81 from Brighton , 21/10/2009

This is a very good story driven 1st person shooter. Apart from some cool weapons, theirs not much new here, however the whole game has a charm to it and it reminded me of the first time I played quake where the gameplay just felt right. The games feels like a high budget action movie with fantastic art design and good but not ground breaking graphics. I really enjoyed playing through this game and found it hard to put down. Recommended!
