[Disclaimer: I haven't played the entire game so my review is partly based on actual gameplay and the rest is what I've already read.] Wow. The visuals so far are amazing. It does exceed Uncharted that way, also in the openness of the levels and the natural feel to the platforming and combat. I can tell I'm going to be playing this for a while. I haven't played MP at all, I also don't like that there are MP Trophies required for platinum. If it wasn't for that I'm sure I would Platinum this to explore every nook on the island. The leveling up of the character makes sense, I've read it seems like your a bit powerful at the end. This is a must play for 2013. Might be in the top 3-5 to finish this console cycle.

Firstly this title costs less than $49 on Amazon. ****/MEHm8K Additionally, I knew I was getting a $20 Amazon Credit for Pre-Ordering and 8$ Movie Voucher and was planning and Saw the Movie 6/22/12. I also have the Move, and was hoping for more Archery like the Sports Champions Archery. The playstation move is only required/used for the min-games involving target practice and timed target practice in 3 sections of 5 challenges I achieved gold in all but one in about 20 minutes. I only used one Move Controller, it didn't indicate to me support for two move controllers. I've only completed one of what appears to be 8 areas of the main game. The game does contain spoilers to the Pixar movie. Since It took about 30 minutes for me to complete a section I assume the games overall length to be 4-5 hours. Replay-ability for completing the game on a higher setting or for making sure to earn enough 'coins' to upgrade everything is possible. I was playing on Normal, I might change to a higher setting as it seems normal is geared to younger players [Pre-Teen] The game starts with the main plot of the movie, than stretches it out. The CGI cut scenes are wholly inferior to the movies animation, but the drawn storyboard cut scenes are well done. The mechanic is simple with a Diablo like pulled back third person camera, the characters and levels are quite well rendered, and the mechanics are smooth albeit not very challenging. The puzzles scattered periodically are also targeting the pre-teen arena for difficulty. For trophy hounds willing to turn the difficulty to 'Brave' it's probably an easy platinum. I'm enjoying it so far, it's definitely worth a rental or a discounted purchase.

It's for fun It's not as elaborate a combat system, but it has some combos and chaining to master. Leaderboards and challenges add some replayability, and it was released at a "Reduced" price from the standard $60. If you like Wet, or Splatterhouse I can't imagine you wouldn't like this. I put it ahead of Wet and Beneath Splatterhouse.

In short. It doesn't measure up to IW MW2. But it's slightly better than Black Ops and WOW. I've always preferred Infinity Wards' 'Feel' of the gunplay more. I still like BF3 as well , for the Larger maps and vehicular combat elements. I like the new Perk System and Kill-streak system as being an average player rarely get the higher kill-streaks required. I also enjoy the twist on TDM with the Dog Tags. I would actually score it a point lower than BF3 just because in the couple of hours I've been online and the modes immediately available to me I've only experienced fast & furious gun & run play. I haven't opened a mode or map that would encourage sniper/overwatch classes or stealth having much emphasis. The Elite system is well set up, but currently overwhelmed by demand and rather unresponsive server replies.

I've only played for about two hours, so it's not a 'complete' review by any means ... I just wanted to go on to say ... Yes. You have to calibrate before almost every function or match ... yes. the head tracking feature doesn't seem to ever have 'conditions' satisfactory for it to work and Yes. Danny Trejo as your trainer is Cheezy..... Let's start with the latter first... it's a GOOD kinda cheezy , like a Rob Rodriguez film! I love Danny Trejo as the tutorial/trainer it's a hoot and he does an awesome Job. The head tracking never worked so it turns itself off, that doesn't seem to hurt anything cause I'm having a blast. The more you train and add stats [Like an RPG] to your fighter the more your fighter mirrors your actions ... in the beginning you might have more stamina then your fighter , so the game is going to hold you back if you run outta Stamina ... I don't think many reviewers played long enough ... The trophy glitch is real ... I can't sync the trophies I've earned, I hope they patch that , and tweak the Head tracking or provide more guidance as to WHY it won't work ... i.e Too bright or Dark or what not. If you like Sports Champions Gladiator , you'll love the Fight: Lights Out.
