 a brilliant game! July 20, 2008

I got this game free aswell as motorstorm and ridge racer 7 with my ps3.
when i first went on the game, i picked up the controls rather easily!
the graphics are brilliant and the storyline is incredible!
I thought this game would have some fear in it but suprisingly it didn't!
which is good for people who are not fans of scary games. I say this game doesn't have any scary parts in it but sometimes it does like when your walking and your on a freaky level called northern command and your character has a hallucination about a creature!
the story is about you, an american solider who has come over to the uk to battle the evil chimera! creatures with 6 eyes! (i think?) it takes you through all parts of the uk killing the chimeran forces, and yet you never get bored! the graphics are brilliant, you can see every little detail and the weapons are fantastic! you get everything from rocket launchers to flamethrowers and weird guns made by the chimera like the bullseye. the online loading is quick and the online gaming itself is brillant and fast. overall this game is awesome! a great first person shooter!

Set in England... nice, good start I wondered if I would recognise any land marks (otherwise whats the point of saying its anywhere real?) but even 1940's england was more interesting to look at than this. My 2nd 'in box title' that I got as a bundle with Heavenly Sword (played HS first - played this 2nd). After Heavenly I was really disappointed with the visuals in this game. Very PS2, very grey / brown and very poor. I dont buy that 'brown and grey add's to 1940's realism' arguement. some of the 'wider' environments look very good, the skies and wider scenery for example but generally the levels look quite bleak and repetitive. On the other hand, some elements were really good touches and that made me think that the game had been rushed in development or something.
The levels are very samey, where the enemies just get bigger faster and have better guns. To counter that your own infection makes you quicker and stronger against attack. Not sure why but I thought the Chimera looked rubbish - if they were infected humans, why would they get there own outfits and weaponry from space? where did the weapons come from, who made their outfits and why woulnt they just be running around like 28 days later?? and is there a wider set up for a sequel - I hope not. It was perhaps a good idea to mix the two typical types of FPS - WW2 (and now 3) and futuristic / space but I dont think they made a very good job of it all.
The plot behind the game is quite good and cut scenes are good to follow, with narrative suggesting you are playing out events that have already unfolded. But there is nothing new here really, its simply a release title that was chucked together quickly to give us a taste of bigger and better things. At current values in June 2008 it would be good value for money, as its quite long (certainly compared to COD4) but quite repetitive as well so its easy to get bored.
Unlike other games I own and have completed, I doubt I will play it through again.
A hit and miss above average affair June 22, 2008

Despite not having played this until a long time after it's release date, the game... whilst a good game, isn't really one to showcase what the PS3 can do. On first try it reminded me of the troubled PS2 shooter Killzone. The game is a simple linear affair, grab your gun, plow through the Chimera (the enemy, cliched-gentically modified humans that are superior to you.. damn), Checkpoint Reached, level over. Yeah it's not going to win any awards for originality, it's just tried and tested. Doesn't make the game a bad game, just not a great game either.
The weapons is where the game shines, there are examples of weapons that are done creatively, a bit of a throwback to the old days of Quake II and Duke Nukem 3D where you would get totally over the top weaponry.
For anyone who doesn't know yet, the game takes place in 1940's Britain, the locations of Britain and portrayal of olden-days Britain is done extremely well, with great level design taken in approach too. No offence to you Americans but it's nice to see a game in Britain :) The dull-washed out feeling in the colours is a nice touch to the games setting.
A thing that does take this game from 3 stars to 4 stars is easily the co-op, from my days of playing Halo on Xbox, and Halo 3 especially, the co-op mode was damn fun, especially with 4 people and here it's just as great. Gotta love some co-op action
This is a good game that can be enjoyable for a while, but it's not perfect and nothing mindblowing. Since the price these days is cheap for this game, it would be worth buying.
Only for Co-op May 28, 2008

I would advise playing this on hard, because you get a much longer eperience. The game's graphics are poor, and if it weren't for the ability to play co-op then i would have sold it, but the storyline is great.
 am i playing the same game? May 19, 2008

This game is an effort to play, I am actually going to have to psych myself up to play it again and do you want to know why, because this game is soooo boring to the extent of me running around in circles because every 5 minutes I am seeing a repeated bit of the level over and over again.
It makes me wonder what is good about this game, cause i for sure didn't have fun on the multiplayer, where i ran up to someone who just sidestepped and shot me with a mega gun. Believe me i can hold my own, i am a brigadier on halo 3 for crying out loud. The levels were way to big and not well layed out and not even remotely interesting to play on. FACT.
I bought my PS3 mainly for MGS4 and thought this would tide me over until then, but it's been 3 days and it hurts me to look at the box. Just to cover myself from the give it a chance comments, i am right near the end of the level with a million lifts and loads of dead soldiers and then some idiot shouts at you through a pipe before you get the blue death gun, great a good gun... oh wait now all the enemies have it, so i get done over all the time, not challenging AI by the way, the AI i can live with. HOWEVER the checkpoint system I can't it takes you back so far and that would be great if the levels were even remotely interesting or good to look at, but they just aren't it's just dull corridors with a new aesthetic everytime and a few crates chucked in for good measure, no the crates cannot be used for cover because;
1)there is no cover system
2)when you come out of cover you get drilled without inflicting much damage on the enemy, making it easy for you to die.
In closing the death of this game was due to the appalling level design, which was has just left me speechless... Stay well clear of this because it will make you vomit.
