 No Documentation February 18, 2008

First of all, this is a fanTAStic game overall with outstanding realism. As a licensed gun dealer, former law enforcement officer, and former US Army infantry, I can verify that this is as real as it gets. Five Stars for game play, realism, sound effects, ballistics, etc., etc.
The only problem for me was the complete lack of any documentation, gaming guide, manual, etc. I'm admittedly a newbie to PS3 gaming. This is my first, and I am handicapped by not being born with a PS3 controller in my little hands. It takes a lot of practice to move and shoot with the required fluid and instinctive motion (not in real life, but with a PS3 controller). I could find no game information on the DVD, in the packaging, or on the Activision or Infinity Ward web sites, something I think is inexcusable.
Thank heaven there are game sites that have great information, but mostly directed to strategy and cheats. What a newbie like me needs is basic information about the game and what to do in general.
To the rescue is the BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. It provides invaluable information to a new player like me and great strategy and intel info that can lead to bonus features, a great advabtage to even the hard core gamers. The strategies and some intel info are available for free on some of the web sites, but it's nice to have a hard copy to pick up while the game is paused to figure out what the heck is going on. A great value for about $15 but something the publisher should have provided with the DVD.
I've read that some players were disappointed in how short the game is. That may be true for a dedicated and experienced gamer, but for me it took over two months of playing an hour a day to complete the game, so if you're not a full time gamer, the program should prove to be quite entertaining and quite a challenge, even at the Recruit level. At the rate I've been going it will be years before I can play at the Vetran level, so a great value for $59.
 GIANT LET DOWN!!! March 29, 2008

This was the worst purchase I have made as far as a game goes for the PS3! I was more impressed with R.T.F.O.M. as far as graphics and game play goes. I bought this game because it was advertised as a number one for one and two player and online.... What a disappointment! Only death match, and the visual feel of the game was in the toilet. the only thing that was nice with this game was the eye candy, and we all know if you want eye candy you buy a Square Soft game like Final Fantasy. I would rather play my kids Eye Of Judgment than ever put this title back in my machine. -10 of 10 simply because of the hype to SUCK ratio!
 How to turn off the voices. May 28, 2008

Just a post script on my last review, you CAN turn off the chat voices. During the match hit 'select' then move the cursor over the little punk who's voice is annoying you and hit 'X', their voice icon should change to black, and presto, no more swearing, bragging, etc. You can do this to multiple players at once, it helps when playing with some of the 10 year old mamma's boys that jabber constantly.
Best FPS game ever June 3, 2008

I've played this game over 300 hours and am still playing it now. I just went through story mode at Veteran difficulty and I have a new-found respect for real Marines. This is the best First Person Shooter (FPS) game ever made. The graphics are ultra-realistic. The gameplay is smooth (except for a few minor areas) in both story mode and online play. My main complaint is that you can't mute other online players -- so you have to listen to little Timmy ordering dinner from Pizza Hut. Nevertheless, in comparison with anything from EA/Ubisoft, this is 10 times better. Drake's fortune was fun but there's no online play. If you only buy one game, this is the one. I'd buy a PS3 just to play this game. BTW: I have the PC version too but I can't master the controls. If you get a modded PS3 controller, you get a big advantage.

If you are reading this, do yourself a big favor and buy this game. It will showcase the graphics and sound you were looking for when you bought it. A must own game, bottom line. Multiplayer is amazing! BUY THIS!
