NA PSN'rs don;t get it until the 26th unless you have the Gamestop pre-order code I believe. Load of crap. Oh well, just download it with my Europe account.
Is it coming out in Japan/Australia this week too? Those are the only foreign accounts I've got. But if I can ever get a hold of my friend (who's always busy) he'll give me his extra code.
94/100 based on 37 Reviews. It's doing pretty well!

metacritic screwed up 1up's number rating. An "A" isn't 100%, an "A+" would be 
TEH METACRITIC IS WRONGZ! OH NO! OH CAN WE ALL JUDGE GAMES?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Day one
Seriously. I live in the UK, but as far as Sony know, I have a flat in the Pentagon and another in Sony's own headquarters in Minato, Tokoyo.
I downloaded the demo in 45mins. For the guys looking for a COD4 arcade type shooter will be disappointed...this is a R6V/GRAW type game AND I LOVE IT.
Alternative type two controls work perfectly for the COD fans. The aiming will take some getting use to. I enjoyed the demo and I'm not going to nitpick about if the rock was textured perfectly but there were some check points hiccups.
One thing I didn't like much was I rather have a snap to iron sights instead of the toggle...just my preference though.
Damn A.I is smarter than I thought....who told them to duck and cover when I injure them!

For whatever reason, it only took me 15 mins to download from the UK PSN Store in the US. Much faster than I expected!
But the demo is pretty much what I expected: so much **** going on at once. The AI is really good too, and enemies actually take cover and move to different spots! I've played through the SHORT ASS demo twice, and it's a different experience each time thanks to the AI. It keeps it fresh and new to some degree.
As for the graphics, AMAZING. Not quite Crysis, but very amazing for a console title. I've never seen lighting so dramatic in a console title, not to mention how well they make the "first person" view feel. You feel like you're actually the person walking around, and not just "sliding" across like in some FPS games. Also, the recoil on the weapons adds incredible depth to shooting and aiming. Feels very very realistic. Particle effects are amazing, not to mention the scale of how much **** is being rendered on screen. There is some slight issue of pop-ins here and there, but it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way.
Controls do take a little getting used to after playing Resistance and COD4 so much. They came of nature to me the second time I played the demo though, although I hope they add a button map feature in the final game.

He talks big 2ny but we all know edward ain't got nutin.
edit: i downloaded the demo from the UK store... following in the 2009 trend, the controls suck. The zoom needs to be on a shoulder button, and NOT be locked but mapping it to L1 sucks because L2 needs to be HELD to stay in cover. Annoying. But other than that, I like it a lot. Looks fantastic, guns feel good, explosions are nice. Happy to buy it soon.
It's very pretty..... I think it both looks better and plays smoother than Crysis (well on my rig ) which is some feat when a nvidia 7800 derivative, Cell CPU and 512mb ram, can outperform a quad core processor, 8 GB ram and a 8800GTS.
My only criticism, the first person perspective seems 'very close' if you get me. Your peripheral vision seems very small, oh and those wibbly wobbly load screens are nausea inducing and I'm surprised it got past the epileptic seizure testing...

I know, but none of them are how I want it. I wish they had allowed you to fully map your own controller. Why in this day and age we STILL don't have that in every single game is beyond me.
I played a little before coming to work this morning. It seemed pretty good for a console FPS, I didnt get totally jacked like I did in Resistance since it seems to be slower paced and I really suck at FPS aiming with a controller. The artists did a great job on this game, its definitely the gears for PS3.
Not sure if I'll buy it yet, its still a console FPS after all. It beats the snot out of RE5 at least.

I've been loving the demo, played it twice already. Some nice demos this month. RE5, KZ2, and Halo Wars. Didn't try Halo Wars (screwed up my XBL account setup, can't download M demos), but the others are great!
Scratch that, I was getting a ton of errors and just expected it was because I have a "minor" account. Halo Wars is good, but it's not Starcraft :\.

Nice that it supports 1080p too
Just wish all PS3 games did.. either by scaling or natively. It's a pain in the arse having to manually change HDMI settings each time dependent on the game your playing..

Just played the demo, and I pretty much got what I expected. It looks very pretty and plays well, but in the end it's just another FPS. I'll very likely pass on that one for the time being.
