The best launch title for the PS3. Take a look-see.
Gameplay: This game plays like your typical FPS. Analog sticks to move...triggers to shoot.. What sets it aside from most shooters is that it may be a little more difficult. Even on the easy difficulty, you will still spend most of your time ducking for cover waiting for your health to re-generate...yes re-generate. I know it sounds a lot like Halo, but there arent any energy shields in this gold nugget. Unlike that game, you really can't rush attack as easily. For me that aspect really added because you really have to strategize nearly everything.
Graphics: The beginning of the game doesn't say a whole lot. Visuals can be compared to Call of Duty for the 360. Not to say thats bad, but trust me, as you immerse into the game, the later levels are amazing. Especially the alien environments. I'm not convinced that these graphics are to the fullest of the PS3's true potential. But from what I see, I am extremely excited to see what comes around in the future.
Sound: Sound is a category that always seems to be my lowest score in every game. No matter what the title. The sound is not terrible...in fact its pretty convincing. I'm just a huuuuuge critic when it comes to it. Possibly biased. I really don't have much to say about this. But to the average gaming, the sound is up there amongst all quality titles.
Value: I highly beleive that there will be a TON of good FPS's for the PS3 in the future, but for right now, this is definately the best title. The multiplayer is pretty fun as well. Though not as popular as Halo, it is still very comparible. And in my opinion, it runs at least 3 times smoother. (360)
All in all, I highly recommend this game if you are starting out with this great system. You won't be dissapointed
