Mixed: 5 out of 5. Negative: 0 out of 5. The experience is simple enough to appeal to children and the ease of jumping in and out of cooperative play means that mom or dad can join in or leave as they please.
All this publication's reviews Read full review. Some glitches particularly during the crocodile battle mar an otherwise satisfying experience, but the designers made up for that with all of the easy achievements and trophies. A decent effort that is not as bad as some might expect. A longer main quest and sharper graphics would have did this game wonders.
Gaming Age. If you enjoyed the movie, I'd say the game is worth checking out, but beware that it can really aggravate you at certain points.
I'm not sure I'd suggest buying it right off the bat; I would definitely go with a rental first. User Reviews. Write a Review. Positive: 0 out of 3. Mixed: 3 out of 3. It really is so much more than just a games console, which is fine, assuming that you want to do so much more than play games.
The PS3 really does have the makings to be the hub of your home entertainment setup, while it also has the potential to expand its capabilities considerably over the months and years.
Even though I consider myself a particularly cynical and jaded technology hack, I was pleasantly surprised when I got my paws on a full retail PlayStation 3 a while back.
The design of the PlayStation 3 has sparked controversy since it was first unveiled — some think that it looks sleek and futuristic, while others think that it looks oversized and bulbous.
I have to say that I was never a fan of the design when I first saw pictures, and I was even less of a fan when I saw it first hand at E3 last year. Standing the PlayStation 3 next to the Xbox and the Wii really highlighted the fact that the X looks more like a computer product than a consumer electronics device. Whereas both the PS3 and the Wii are finished in glossy plastic, that will no doubt complement your shiny new high definition TV, the Xbox just looks a bit dull by comparison.
Of course the down side of the glossy black finish on the PS3 is that it collects fingerprints at an alarming rate — especially when you have a 14 month old daughter who likes to press buttons!
Likewise, the chrome face plate becomes just as grubby in no time at all. The front of the PS3 is dominated by the slot loading Blu-ray drive with the obligatory PlayStation logo mounted just below the slot. As with the PS2, the logo can be rotated, ensuring the correct orientation whether you opt for horizontal or vertical operation. In front of the drive are touch sensitive eject and power buttons — yes my daughter loves pressing these at every opportunity! Below the card reader are four USB 2.
In some respects the delayed launch in Europe has created a far better launch line up, but even so, many of the launch titles have already been available on other platforms for some time now. One major boon that the PS3 does have in its favour is a region free model for PlayStation 3 games. This means that you can buy any game, from any region and play it in any machine, from any region.
This is the way things should be — Microsoft and Nintendo please take note! Last year at E3 Konami showed off the trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4 and that will probably be enough to convince masses of gamers to buy into the PlayStation 3 — after all it worked with the PlayStation 2, the Metal Gear Solid 2 trailer probably sold more early consoles than anything else.
A while back Sony was making a big noise about how the PS3 would be almost completely backwards compatible with previous generation games — mainly because Microsoft had done so poorly in this area with the X So, imagine my surprise when a few weeks ago Sony announced that the European PlayStation 3 would not have the PS2 hardware inside, and we would have to make do with software emulation. If you want to find out exactly which games will work on the European PS3, you better click here.
But Sony has missed a golden opportunity here. If the marketing bods at SCEE had any sense, they would have made the first batch of European consoles with the PS2 hardware inside, then made it clear that it would be switching to an emulation model for the next batch onwards.
That alone would have got the pre-orders flooding in instead of every retailer having masses of unsold launch day stock. Sony has tried to cover every base with the PlayStation 3, right down to it being able to interact with the PSP.
Remote Play is somewhat limited at the moment though. What we actually need from Remote Play is the ability to stream from the PS3 from anywhere in the world.
Online services have never been a strong point for Sony. I was therefore quite wary when Sony announced that the PlayStation Network would be free, but this time Sony appears to have got it right.
The latter obviously costs money, just like on the X and Wii. Thankfully Sonly released a firmware update yesterday version 1. You can chat to your friends and invite them to play games, but the coolest part of the PlayStation Network is the forthcoming PlayStation Home. PlayStation Home will be a completely graphical online environment, allowing PS3 users to create their own homes, kit them out and literally visit their friends.
It looks set to be a cross between the Sims and Second Life, and I have a sneaking suspicion that some PlayStation 3 owners may never end up doing anything other than wandering around PlayStation Home and cyber-socialising! Sony insists that it will keep the PlayStation Network a free service, but developers do have the right to institute subscription models for their games. This seems perfectly fair, and completely inline with the way online PC gaming works.
