a nearly perfect port to the ps3
concept: the same as the original, however we now have two entirely new levels! it's like having a heaping load of awesome with two extra sides of awesome! and i have to admit, the trophies are kind of fun (but given the nature of the game, this shouldn't be surprising). it also seems to me that there are far more bonus items in each level, which is a welcome addition.
graphics: they have transferred well. they aren't in line with new releases for the ps3 (obviously), but they do look far better than they did for the wii release. i also noticed in slo-mofo-mode that when you do serious damage to a zombie they REALLY get graphic with the splat factor. i do not recall this being as...messy...in the previous edition.
sound: top notch and, of course, we have the beyond hilarious voice work from the original (which for me, was a huge part of why i loved the game). between the cutscenes and the dialogue between detective washington and agent g, there is never a dull moment (i read somewhere that this game has the record for the most use of the 'f' word out of any video game).
my one real beef (and why i removed one star) is for the functionality. i tried this first with my dualshock controller, and not only was it difficult to shoot accurately, but the button mapping was strange. to shoot, you press either X or R1. R1? it felt very akward and i wished i could have remapped it to R2, but no such luck. you can move your crosshairs with either analog stick which actually gets a little confusing, especially if you happen to move one by mistake. i died a little too often because of these poorly laid out controls. using the move is far preferable, and honestly, point and shooters are so rare now, who wouldn't want to play this way for kicks? using the move peripheral enables this game to be played in a fashion that suits it far better than the dualshock controller.
this game was already great, and now it's been elevated to the next level with a plethora of wonderful additions. this is by far worth the price. with new weapons, trophies, and levels, this is ideal for 'hod: overkill' fans and newcomers alike!
(i wish i could comment on the 3d capabilities, however i do not have a 3d tv. if i have a chance to play it in 3d elsewhere, i will update this review at that time.)
100% recommended!
