Well the PS3 is wireless, the 360 isnt.

Being the ONLY wireless one it's a no brainer that it's the fastest.

I was getting 2 hours from the time Andy started to download then his next progress update...


the wii is wireless as well, have a read of the "test" and see how much the results vary, as you'd expect depending on server load, connection, contention ratio etc etc

The "Fisher Price My First Game Machine" doesnt count :thumleft:

You dont need a Wii for that mate! You're playing with the wrong joystick! :mrgreen:

No denying the graphics are amazing!

Turn the X and Y sensitivity to max and dont moan about the controls until you've tried changing them to 'Alternate 2' - although personally, i think it's worse that way....

Played it twice tonight.....damn its a short demo! :lol: [-X

Graphics are very nice but its a very dark game. The gameplay is nothing new at all though, and COD4 has a better frame rate, but like the look and feel to it.

The biggest porblem with it isn't the game at all...its that peice of crap controller! ](*,) They're just not designed for these types of games (FPS) and sticks are terrible for general movement and precision aiming.

IMO the only thing they're designed for is RSI.
When some one says "why change a winning formula" it makes me laugh.
Why? Well because the competition is far superior, THATS why.

In any other product, if some one has taken your idea (wasnt Sony's to create a control pad but they did have the best for a while) and made it vastly better, you cant just sit back on your laurels. You have to come up with something equally as good or better.

Nokia revolitionised the mobile phone market IMO with the 5110. Could you imagine if that's all they made now? Yet funny enough, that was out about the same time as the PS1 :shock:

But I did it on thursday which is release day so I think the servers would have been busy though.

My mate who only has a 1meg Bt line gave up after it took 16 hours to do 30 % :lol: WTF :shock: :shock: :shock:

My mate got a copy of Killzone2 yesterday morning (game's reviewer) he's not normally that quick at completing games...but completed it in 5-6 hours on normal! :roll:

He said it starts off great but gets boring pretty quick and the end is terrible. He was really looking forward to it as well and pre-ordered it months ago.

Ok played it today. Hmm, looks great but not at all keen on the game play. I kept throwing grenades instead of shooting people. There's no compass to tell you were to go in the slightest. Remember the bit where you have to get in the lift? Had no idea where it was. Team kept saying "get in the lift with x" but no pointing, no compass, no way to know where to go. That was a short demo, i'd hope it's not like that too much more in the game. It's not bad, shame the gameplay lets down the fantastic graphics.
