I bought this game the first day because I assumed it would be like the Return to Castle Wolfenstein, PS2 style. I do like the upgradeable weapons (I chose the MP40, which becomes ineffective near the end of the game) and that you can upgrade your powers. Those are a plus for me in any game. The storyline was good, but short. The bosses were weird, but easy to defeat. The blackmarket was a nice touch.I think that Veil mode is awesome and probably one of the best things of the game.
The downfall however, is that unlike the previous verson, you can only carry 8 weapons (all German) and you have to unlock them. You don't carry and American weapons even though you see them throughout the game. The game was short, storyline was good, but it was really short. Another downfall is that only a few items in the game are actually destructible. You can't bash chairs, radios, paintings, or even the flags. And when you get cornered by certain creatures, your remote like freezes so you can't fight them off.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the game. I would suggest renting it first to see if you like it.
What's great about it: Upgradeable weapons, Storyline, Veil mode, WWII
What's not so great: No American weapons, Short game, Few others

Everything is great about this game. You have a full army at the control of your hands. The voice command through the wireless headset makes things so much easier and faster. The barracks where you can upgrade your units is perfect (always great). The only downfall is that on the strategic map, you get choices of where you want to attack or defend and cannot randomly select. The other downfall is the when your winning the option of WMDs comes online and thats a killer downfall.
What's great about it: Voice command, Battlefield scan, Upgrades
What's not so great: Can't choose random locations, Nukes

I really don't see what the big hype is. My sister read all the books and convinced me to see this even though I had doubts to start with mainly because it was a romantic vampire movie. The storyline was okay, the plot was interesting on how and why they were vampires. Other than that, the movie sucked. It was too slow, too cheesy especially in the fight scenes. The sparkling was awkward and the acting was horrible. The only reason it sold so great and won so many awards was because of Eduardo, and his cult. If you want a good vampire movie, watch Underworld 1-3.
What's great about it: An okay storyline
What's not so great: Everything else, inlcuding the cults that followed

I now buy Blu-ray Dvds because of the PS3. The graphics and images are clearer and only certain films I buy because of the price tag. This is the first time I have been dissapointed, mainly because the film was okay. It didn't suck, but it wasn't good. The story line was good, but it was too short of a film. I htink it was a little over 90 minutes. The battles weren't like the ones from the first two. They were too quick. The graphics were great. Getting rid of Rachel Weisz was upsetting because she was key in the first two. The son went from 6 years old in the The Mummy Returns......to 26 years old in this film. The acting was way overrated. It seemed like they were trying too hard in many parts of the film. It was a good film, but I wouldn't recommend buying it if you loved the first two films.
What's great about it: Weapons, Asia, Graphics, Story line
What's not so great: New mom, son is too old, bad acting, short film, not enough battles

I love this game. I played the first one and fell in love with it. The second one was okay, but the third one is the best yet. Wide variety of weapons. There is one problem though. The M1 garand fires a .30-06 round and the Kar98 fires a 7mm round. In real world, both have a devastating effect, but for some reason, the M1 is hard to hit targets with. It takes 3 shots to drop an enemy and is very inaccurate. You can barely get headshots off with it, whereas the Kar98 drops an enemy with one round. I was dissapointed about that, but other than that, the game is a must have. The storyline is interesting and when you think you are done, after 5 missions, your not. And the gore factor is wicked.
What's great about it: Grapchis, Flanking, Weapons, Squads, Storyline, Gore Factor

I was doubting this game at first, and then I rented it and loved it. I plan on buying it soon because of how it keeps you wanting to play more and more. And the price has now dropped to $30. On top of that, you can go back and replay the missions and collect new guns, like 10 that you couldn't before. The only downfall with that is that you don't keep the weapons you had from the first time you played. The graphics are pretty good and the storyline is wicked. The mission are difficult but pretty short. This game keeps you guessing and keeps you playing for hours on end. Fun game. Highly recommend you purchase it.
What's great about it: Weapons, Regenerating Health, Missions, Graphics, Storyline

I liked the last few scenes of this movie, but I still feel that Clive Owen's best movie yet is King Arthur. This movie was long and boring and centrals around the idea of caught/failed attempt of unfaithfullness. Like I said, the last few scenes are good an dmake the movie. Everything else sucks. Save your money and rent it
What's great about it: Final scenes, action scenes

I have the original Ghost Recons for the PS2 and I love them. The Advanced Warfighter series, I am not so impressed with. Was the first game I bought for the PS3 and the graphics were good, but suck compared to other games. The graphics are focused mainly on the soldiers and the vehicles, the terrain sucks and reminds me of the PS2. Too short, and the lighting as far as sunlight goes......that sucks. Its hard to see what you are looking for. The UAV is pretty cool though and the weapons are good, other than that, I was dissapointed.
What's great about it: Graphics are okay, storyline, UAV
What's not so great: too short, lighting sucks, controls

If you are looking for a fun game as far as WWII fighter squadron, then get this. I have mine for the PS3 and its okay. I also own Heroes of the Pacific for the PS2 and this game reminds me of it. Even though you fly for the RAF in Europe aswell, the pacific theatre is a joke and that was a dissapointment. Good graphics though and plenty of planes to choose from, hope the 2nd one is better.
What's great about it: Graphics, Aircraft, Terrain, Missions, Controls
What's not so great: Short missions, historically incorrect

This game is the best i have seen yet for the PS3 as far as graphics goes. There are multiple weapons in the game and the night vision is really good compared to other games. One of the best so far. The only downfall is that I beat the game in 2-3 days playing a few hours a day after work. Fun game though. Flanking is good too and I love the storyline. Worth the price.
What's great about it: Great Graphics, Weapons, Plot, Missions
