Great gameplay and graphics

I loved Soul Calibur 2 for the Xbox and for all the same reasons, I love SC 3 for the PS2.  It has great replay value both as a single player and playing against friends.  It has great gameplay with smooth framerates and some new characters.  It is only 480p, so it is not quite as sharp as the 720p Xbox version of SC 2, but it still looks great.  If you loved SC 2, then it is worth getting SC 3.

This is a fantastic sequel to the first game. One of my greatest fears was the shift from 60fps on the remaster to 30fps on the sequel. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how Studio Japan managed to utilize the motion blur to great effect. As a matter of fact, Digital Foundry at Eurogamer has praised Gravity Rush 2 for being the best 30fps game. That combined with the impressive physics and artstyle makes this game quite a looker.

The meat of the game, though, is the gameplay. For newcomers, there is a bit of a learning curve. I initially sucked in the remaster, but with practice, it's a whole lot of fun and rewarding. The sequel builds on top of the foundation with the introduction of two styles: Lunar and Jupiter style. The Lunar style is great for aerial combat and I absolutely love doing the Superman when I traverse around the world. Jupiter style takes more practice to master, but it is very effective for taking out waves of enemies.

So far, I am definitely enjoying the story. The exposition is a bit slow, but it gradually picks up along the way. If you're someone who wants to try out something different from the usual AAA offerings, definitely try this game out. Don't be discouraged with the gameplay mechanics. It takes time to adapt, but it's definitely rewarding once you get the hang of it.

I had the opportunity to play this game recently and it was GREAT! Good graphics, good humor, great control, and deep. I played for hours and had a lot of fun, yet barely scratched the surface. Definitley a keeper at this price. I can't wait for it to come out to play more.

Killzone 2 sets the standard of graphics in a video game very high. This is one of the most beautiful games ever created, outstanding particle effects, great lighting and impressive character models. The controls are good, they take some time to get used to but for me they are fine (and I have played a lot of FPS). The replay value is very high since the online game (Warzone) of Killzone is where this game shines even more delivering outstanding gameplay, great customization and lag-free gaming. The only flaw to me is that the game suffers sometimes of slowdown when it's loading the map in the single player campaign and sometimes this can get a bit annoying. Other than that the game is great and it deserves every good review it has received.

I thought Call of Duty 2 was amazing, but this game is even better!  First of all, it has great graphics, sound, and smooth framerates.  Those are must-haves for a great game, but don't guarantee it.  What pushes this game over the top is that it has an interesting and deep single player campaign and great multiplayer options.  The campaign requires lots of thinking (weapon choices, attack routes, etc.) and stealth.  It reminded verymuch of another great game-Far Cry Instincts.  The controls are a bit complex since at times you have command of a 3 man squad, or a group of tanks/Bradley's, or an unmanned aerial vehicle.  But it is easy to get up to speed.  In multiplayer, you can play deathmatches against others or team up with them and go against the computer.  There is even a multiplayer campaign option-many more options than in Call of Duty 2.  All of this adds up to hours of gameplay and replay value.  Highly recommended.

The visuals and music of this game are beautiful, and the gameplay is very fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, and I'm really looking forward to playing through with the DLC characters.

I must have played this game all the way through at least eight times thus far, and IMO, it is one of the best games ever i have played, and i got tons of games including all the latest out today.
What strikes me as odd is all the naysayers who complain that the game has flaws. or they cannot run the game with thier highest end machines well enough. My rig has a AM2 5600 CPU, 2GB Crutial DR800 ram and only a 7600GT video card. Thats right.., and play it on medium settings with only a couple at lower settings, and it plays at pretty high framerates, in 90 percent of the game. I have no glitches of note , or at least not enough to bother compaining about. The game is the most gorgeous game i've played to date. COD 4 is good but diff. type graphics for those who want to compare this or that.
What I want ot tell those who have Nvidia graphics cards is, go into 3D settings and tweak the panel listings some and see if that helps. It sure did for me. Also, replay the game a few times and then make your assessments. each time for me it plays better and better, and seems to look sweeter to me. DO NOT apply any of the patches out. They are junk.

Awsome game specially if you are into squat-based tactical shooter games, or even if you dont, I can assure you will have quite a good time playing through the game`s main campaign. I haven't played online yet cause I care more about the main campaign, however after I finish it I will connect to xbox live. I have been able to peek at the multiplayer maps and it seemengly runs smoother than the main campaign, like a better frame rate kind of thing. The  graphics of this game are pretty good with very life like enviroments and an exellent recreation of Mexico City. It takes about an hour to get used to the HUD to issue orders to your ghost squat and other gadgets the game offers, but once You feel comfortable with the control scheme you will have such an enjoyable experience. The computer controlled AI, though has to be tewaked quite a bit for near comming games of the series specially for the ghost squat. This game really turned out to be a great game and it shouldnt eventually disappoint anyone. Despite the graphics are trully next gen and realistic when compared to the latest graphical  achievements such as CO4 and uncharted, you would pretty much say that they still can be improved. Yet this a very good looking and playable game. Now I am looking forward to play GRAW2 and RS Vegas which look and play awsome too. By the way amazon offers a very good retail price for this game at $29 us, it is a very good deal. Furthermore, the game came in a very good condition and totally sealed and new. Just keep in mind that it is labeled as greatest hits which has a gray frame and not the whole picture.

Great game, runs fine for me, some people must have system issues. Great graphics, lots of side missions, main plot is pretty good.

Playing on an i7 3930K with 2 R9 290Xs for those curious.

The first thing I noticed about Call of Duty when I played the demo was the stunning graphics and effects. This game has some of the best andmost realistic graphics out there. And the sound quality is amazing. With surround sound, it really sounds like you're in the middle of WWII. And the graphics are amazing, especially during the latter part ofthe game when you're playing as a Russian officer. Some of the scenes that you're involved in seem more cinematic and like something you'd expect from a cut scene than actual gameplay. By the final mission, the music and effects got me so pumped up that I was ready to go out and enlist.
That being said, actual gameplay isn't that great. If you're expecting a good First Person Shooter, I was a little dissapointed. The game pretty much amounts to the same thing over and over: finding enemies and shooting them. I noticed that there's a srategy guide available for this game. For the life of me, I don't know why, seeing as how there's no real strategy involved. The AI also isn't very well done. Every enemy can be shot easily if you simply use a sniper rifle and stay a little bit out of site. The aiming system and HUD isn't that great either. I haven't tried multiplayer, but wouldn't be too interested in it given the gameplay.

For the most part, this is a great game to see how advanced graphics and computer games have come, and one I'd definately show off to my non gameplaying friends. But once the game was done, I had no real interest of re-visiting it.

This is a great game.  The sheer amount of choice in each mission is staggering.  I liked the most recent Hitman, but this is a much better game.  Solid graphics and great art direction create a truly absorbing city and atmosphere.  Highly recommended.

This is an awesome game to have/play. The graphics are outstanding and Warner Bros put a great deal of detail into the characters in the game. The controls are a little complex to learn along with the special moves, but after you learn them it because really easy/fun to operate the character. The story line is great to play and it keeps you interested and wanting to play more of the game. Plus the side missions are great to play especially when just looking for something else to do in the game besides the man story. Or you can just play around and glide over the maps, beat up thugs, stop crimes, etc., whatever your heart desires. Anyway you decide to go, its a great game to play. Would recommend

I don't have a PS or XBOX, so this is my first real game system since the 80's.  I think this game rocks.  The graphics are great and the gameplay is really fun.  I may not be a gamer, but I am a car guy, and this game is keeping me interested much longer than I though it would.  They really put some thought into it- things like the police chatter you hear on your scanner, the slow-mo replays they insert into the game automatically when you do something cool (like catching air going over a hill), being able to go wherever you want in career mode...  it's just great.  I just got the Wii wheel, and I like it much better than the controller alone.  Seems easier to control.  I highly recommend the game and the wheel. Sweet!

This game is beautiful, inside and out. The single player story was great fun and very captivating. I wondered whether it would hold my interest for the 11+ hour story but it did. I think the graphics have peaked with this game and it makes it a much harder wait for the next gen.
