Advantages: Graphics, Story, Long Lasting.

Disadvantages: Local Split Screen could be added.

The first game was a fantastic introduction to PS3 for many people, and this is more of the same, even surpassing the original in many ways. The storyline is great, the graphics are some of the best and it will last a long time with the combination of both online and offline.

The storyline is fantastic, action packed keeping you on the edge on your seat. It's gripping with some great cut-scenes that will bring out lots of emotions, including laughter and tears. It's compelling and well-written, with lots of well developed characters that everyone can enjoy.

The gameplay is also brilliant, with a great combination of things that everyone will enjoy. This includes puzzles, guns and aspects of stealth, it really has everything. The improved AI that is quite smart also makes it a pleasant experience, as it isn't stupid and does some cleve things, making it hard.

The difficulty levels mean that everyone can play, but I found the hardest, crushing, too easy in places, with only one hard bit.

The graphics are superb, one of the best, if not the best on the PS3. They look beautiful and the environments are simply stunning in places. You will stop and stare something, they are that good. The sound is also great, with some near-to-perfect voice acting that adds to the experience. The other sounds and the guns and also nearly spot on.

The game is also long-lasting, with a long campaign that is very interesting. It's also got the online that is very fun and offering many hours of play. It's well built and very balanced. The co-op is also good, and fun to play with friends, but it needs a local split-screen.

Overall, it's great value with fans of the series going to be able to put lots of time into it. Everyone else with enjoy it, with the gripping story and some of the best gameplay and graphics the PS3 has to offer.

Game of the Year, if MW2 wasn't released. (Better Single Player though).

Summary: A brilliant game, that everyone will enjoy.
