Some highlights:

"Load times are also a little bit of ridiculous tossed into this over-
the-top game. As you move between chapter sections, the game will
recap your upcoming objectives and load the next part of the mission.
In the beginning, you start to think the load times are a bit too
long, but they only get worse and most rank somewhere between thirty
seconds and a minute. Granted, you won't have to worry about a load
until the next section of the game, but the creeping load bar is going
to upset folks who remember playing and loading F.E.A.R. seamlessly on
the PC and the Xbox 360."

"And therein lies the rub. As much fun as F.E.A.R. is, it's never
going to live up to the expectation cross-platform users have in their
heads. Simply put, the PS3 doesn't hold a candle to the visuals found
in the Xbox 360 version -- especially considering the handful of bugs
that have dead soldiers getting stuck in walls and twitching on the
floor. The detailed environments and clear draw distances aren't found
on PS3. If you had never seen the other versions of F.E.A.R., you
still wouldn't be impressed with the PS3's graphics, but compared to
the PC and 360, this version is graphically dead in the water."

THE POWER OF THE CELL FTW!!!!


Wasn't it Bliggety that called the 360 full circle because he said the sales
would fall short just like the original Xbox? Sounds to me like the cross
platform titles will be full circle also with everything falling short on the
PS3. This has to be eating at the Bliggsters ego.
