    Its PS3 exclusive in Europe only. The US get the 360 version as well.

    **EDIT**
    Its a timed exclusive in Europe btw.

    7/10 in Edge and Games TM. As an Xbox owner this would've been an interesting diversion for summer but it's timed release means when it finally gets released we'll be looking at AAA titles like MW2 and so on, won't stand a chance of not being lost in the shuffle

    Good review alright. The dumbing down of the graphics on the PS3 is pretty strange.....

    The 360 version isn't "held back", Sony paid for a timed exclusive.

    I think its more Atari couldnt afford worldwide publishing simultaniously and since sony wanted it in time with the ghostbusters blu-ray they took the europe publishing. Id say it was a direct payment if Atari were still publishing it

    Not that it's very relevant to most but it will be out on PS2 as well.

    Hmmm...PS3 gets the "exclusive" version with crap graphics, and 360 will most likely get the "polished" version :D

    *rubs hands with glee*

    Although as one poster said, by the time it does reach the 360 the reall AAA titles of the year will be out or on their way. I honestly can't say I would pick this up if it was side by side with MW2. An exclusive for PS3 might net them some cash in the meantime, but neglecting the 360 fanbase for up to another 3 months is going to be a massive error on their part.

    Modern Warfare 2 - the game most likely to kick the bollix off anything else released this year.
