This is a good launch title, both graphically and gameplay wise. I know we'll see more graphically impressive games like this on the platform, but for a 1st generation and launch title it's very good. I've played through the whole single player campaign without noticing a single framerate drop, so this game plays really smooth. I'm one of those people you could call "framerate-sensitive", as I often notice drops which other people don't. At times, there is a lot going on in the game. You'll see many enemies at once on screen and particles flying everywhere. But enough about the technical stuff, let's talk about the game itself. The single player campaign is rather long, and you'll explore everything from bombed cities to alien underground tunnels. Considering this is a first-person-shooter the story around the game is decent. Basically World War 2 never happened, but an alien form called the Chimera has invaded earth. Your job is to fight back as the role of Nathan Hale. The game has quite a few interesting weapons with alternate fire functions. To give you one example, there is a weapon called The Auger. It has the ability to fire through walls and with alternate fire you can set up a force field which blocks all incoming attacks except the Auger itself (which lets you fire through the force field, but also enemies with an Auger to hit you). As I stated it has the ability to fire through walls, but walls and obstacles delays the "bullet" a few seconds and you'll be able to see it penetrate through the wall on the other side. This gives you enough time to dodge it if you see it in time. As the artificial intelligence is rather challenging in the game it never becomes boring and adds replay value. Also when you've completed the campaign once, you can replay it and you'll discover even more new weapons on your second run. Moving over to multiplayer part, which plays a big part of the game. It's the first console game to ever support up to 40 players at once, and it plays totally lag free. As you play ranked online matches, you will gain experience which unlocks new soldier outfits you can wear. You will also move up in rank, and see other players rank in the game. Each player has their own character sheet with detailed statistics. In multiplayer you can also play as the Chimera race, which temporary gains the ability to see through walls. If you combine that ability with The Auger your enemies will never find a safe place to hide. The multiplayer mode also has clan support and the ability to form a party to play together with buddies in the game. I would recommend this game to anyone with a PS3 who enjoys first-person-shooters.
