Wasn't really sure if this needed a first play as it's not exactly a new game.
It went up on the UK PlayStation Store today at 941MBs and it's £11:99 which is a little more than I was expecting but I suppose Activision have followed the practice set for Modern Warfare 2 today by pricing it a bit higher than other games.
I'm sure a lot of people on here played it when it was originally released in 2003 but this is the first time I've played the game and I've really been looking forward to having a play.
I believe this version is a port of the 2003 PC game running at maximum spec and to be honest it looks OK. It certainly doesn't look like a new game and I'm not sure if it was originally a good looking game but I'm quite happy with it.
The game contains a campaign and multiplayer section, I've played through the first 3 or 4 areas but not looked at the multiplayer at all. I mention areas rather than levels it understandably doesn't steam a complete level as you play, I'm not sure if it was the same originally but the areas I've seen don't seem particularly large.
The only issue as such I've had with the controls are when I was using a mounted gun and I found it to be really sensitive. The rest have been fine so far but there's a distinct lack of options to customise the game and it's controls.
It's really difficult to know what to make of the game as it's 6 years old and people may well have played it before or like me people may just want to see how the franchise has progressed over the years. I'm glad I bought it and I don't begrudge the price I paid but people may find it to be too expensive for what they are getting.
It may be wort pointing out that Sony have given it full trophy support which means it has a platinum trophy which is very unusual for a downloadable game which I suppose suggests that it can be seen as little more than just a standard downloadable game.
Anyway, I'm enjoying it so far but I'd be interested to hear what people who've played it in it's original guise think about this re-release.

Had a brief go on this yesterday and seemed just like the CoD I fell in love with on the PC all those years ago
