Great launch title. Introduces us to what the PS3 can do.

This is my first PS3 game, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Unique weapons from the makers of Ratchet Clank - wonderful. Some actually show off PS3's power in a way. The Sapper( a mine-launcher which the mines are blobs of goo) have a little personality. The hailstorm's (gatling gun's) rounds reflect off of walls and some fire off in different directions. The Hedgehog grenade (best weapon evar) produces hundreds of foot-long needles which look awesome and some hit, some miss. The LAARK's Air Brake system breaks away form the ol' rocket launcher cliche a little. Story is boring at first (I just wanted to play mostly), but it does improve throughout. I spent a long time in the alien's building sctructures - the futuristic textures had me entranced. Also, the game's graphics improve and the AI of the Chimera gets pretty smart in my opinion - a little too smart for Easy difficulty. Back to graphics, I have to say I'm very impressed. I 've played 360 too, and PS3's games seem to have more color, which I prefer. The Chimera's faces are very detailed, and so ugly it's beautiful. The gun in your hand has good shine and detail to it as well. Some wall textures are beautiful, some aren't. Same with the ground textures. Once again, All the Chimera's structures are BEAUTIFUL. Online is also fun - plenty of options for the matches. Only about 5 different types of matches - No problem for me, I'm a Deathmatch/ Team Deathmatch kind of guy anyway. Personally, I recommend the One-Hit-Kill Shotgun-Only Deathmatch.

Conclusion - If you have a PS3, get this game. Wonderful launch title. Great game, but not one of the greatest.
