After playing this game since release, I know feel I am ready to voice my opinions on this release. As is my standard way with any COD release, I play the campaign first just to get it out of the way. This is not why we buy this series its the online we want. However the offline campaign tends to give you an general overview of the production. The first thing that struck me was the drop in graphical quality from MW2, which I finally put down to a poor selection for the colour palette used in the majority of stages. The campaign for me dragged in the first half and just took to long for what play and content there was, the final half was completed easily in an hour which gave the feeling of the final production being rushed. But any Call Of Duty game will always be judged on its online game play. First impressions were good, but it soon starts to feel like MW2 with new maps and the levels with the still very poor colours are still there which lets it down. A good feature is that you can vote to replay or play the next map or random selection, this has meant I have been able to avoid the levels which are graphical unimpressive. The major down side of the online, connection problems, host problems, servers not being available or going down which is extremely annoying when you want to get a good evening of gaming in. Now, for the what I think is the pure genius revolution of this game over MW2 - Combat Training. This option is absolutely fantastic and redeems this game! Server problems, host problems, connection issues when playing online? No problem, fire up Combat Training and play bots on your favourite map. I actually enjoy this more than real online play, its so satisfying and more addictive than the real thing. To sum up, its overall a good game let down by a rushed and confusing campaign mode, and poor hosting online. Combat Training saves the day but once I reach the top rank once I will have had enough. I will then be back to Medal of Honor and COD4, with a cheeky visit for Combat Training every now and again.

This is more a golf simulation than a game. The PS Move is a revolution for the PS3 console, and the first games to adopt it are always going to be missing the grade sometimes. This game is one of those. It lacks the polish of the Tiger Woods PGA 11. However, once you get used to the disappointingly difficult controls, the game is actually a very positive gaming and golf experience. My first time out I felt let down by this game, the controls are not intuitive and the manual is not instructive, but when revisited for a second time I found it to be a truely playable game.

This game was just what I was hoping and looking for. The campaign has so far been providing brilliant entertainment value at the weekends, and the online also doesn't fail to deliver. Everything I've been after for a while now. Better than Op Flashpoint and a refreshing change from COD4 (Got bored with MW2 and went back to the original) This game is definately recommended.
