one of the cutscene of this game needs to be fixed ( the girl's arm in one of the cutscene when she opened the car trunk was horribly mishaped) and the rest of the cutscenes are low resolution for highdef gaming. i dont understand while playing this game you are given an option to take the the task or not when you have to take the task anyway to progress through the game, it didnt really made a lot os sense to me. although this game had improvements from the previous one, its a good thing that i rented this game first and did not buy it.
What's great about it: storyline and some graphics

this game lived up to the hyped, the storyline is not as good as the first game issue. all i can say is buy this game if youre an online gamer because the story mode is TO BE CONTINUED for the next game in 2010. the more this game is played online the better it gets, because the weapons are upgraded as you progress playing it online. this game is worth every penny and rated high on replay value.

this controler is fun to use especially playing football, shooter games, and much more. the only thing i don't like about this controler is the rubber part of the joysticks, it can easily split and break especially playing agressive games like football. i love this controller and i bought two of these, but now i'm playing games with controllers with raw thumb against a hard plastic joysticks. maybe someone could tell me how to get some rubber pieces for the joystick. it's not worth to pay $50 for something that breaks easily and takes the fun away for that reason.
What's great about it: rumble, control, wireless
What's not so great: joystic rubber and price for that flaw

What's not so great: shooting at a dead chimera on the ground does not give AI reaction (blood or twitches)

i had high hopes for this game when i saw the preview while the game creator was explaining what the game is all about. very disappointed when i played it, the story line is not out of the ordinary. the enemies had horrible and corny comments in the game. i didn't bother to finish the game and returned it back where i rented it. i was bored playing this game don't waste your money instead buy any of the following shooter games cod4, gta4, army of two, brothers in arms
What's great about it: nectar
What's not so great: boring story, lame dialogs, and it's way better watching the hyped up preview by the makers

it's the second game i played when i bought my ps3. i was amazed with the graphics and the characters when i played it. the sixaxis control was a little bit hard to control when first playing it, but the game itself cancels it out. i had fun and really enjoyed playing this game and hopefully there's a sequel for this game in the future. definitely a great game for ps3 fans.

this game is worth the money and timeplay, but not as great as The Knight Of Old Republic. my only complain is that you can't create your own character and have your own face as the Apprentice, that would be so awesome to have yourself be part of the game. Darth Vader is diabolicly awesome " join the Darkside mwhahahaha!"
What's great about it: story line, playability, characters
What's not so great: addicting gameplay, only one person to choose from
