OK guys i can confirm that you get 4 player offline in GRAW2, you also have co-op missions and other types of game play, the options are campaign, coop missions, team missions or solo missions, quite an extensive list of options actually.

Online seems to be solo only, iam having trouble with my connection at the moment so cant fully check this option. Hope you decide to get it, if so see you online, Soild_Nat is the tag.

I hope that Resistance isn’t the gold standard for a long time. It would be nice if it was duplicated and exceeded in the near future. Halo 2 was the gold standard for Xbox and in a way it still is. It was very easy to use and the plethora of options was great.

I can’t fully blame the 3rd party developers. Most developers complain about the difficulty in programming the PS3 and Sony doesn’t seem to help them out much. I am not saying that the Developers aren’t lazy but Sony needs to do their part too.

You beat me to it Gary! That was the question I was going to ask. Unlike some others who poo-poo the GRAW experience, I like it. But if GRAW won’t give me 4 player splitscreen offline, I’ll have to content myself with one video game purchase this week (Warhawk) instead of two (it’s my anniversary gift!).

Cheers for the info Nathaniel. Could you tell us (mainly Henning) if there is 4 player splitscreen online and/or offline please?

Ok i agree with the coverage, it needs to be improved and a lot of site are openly biased towards XBOX360 that should stop.

As for GRAW2 i got the game yesterday(came from GAME 2 days early!!) i havent played online a great deal just a quick scout around, however the manual and the options online indicated that a clan is very easy to form and join up with. You can check if your clan is playing and join them in game etc.

There is a wealth of different online modes and options and it links through to your friend list so i imagine setting up a clan would be fairly striaghtforward, however having said that i havent tried to do this yet and with only a few people online i am waiting until the weekend to really test the online modes out.

From what i have seen of the game it is wrth picking up for any PS3 owner, i tend to find with UBISOFT PS3 games that have been ported that details are lacking and gaming websites seem to be late in getting full copies of the games etc, i think this is a problem with UBISOFT and handling ported games because they are all over HAZE……

I’m still playing Ps2 Socom on my Ps3.
Most people I know from Socom own a Ps3, but they are using it to play last generation games. I guess we purchased the machine on a promise of great games to come and for now we are using it to play proven online games and some movies.
I’d prefer the Bluray to win but if it goes otherwise I’m not purchasing HD-DVD player. Upconverting DVD’s to hidef is really good.
Sorry to go a little off topic.
