Gameplay

Both games play functionally the same, with the same control options - allowing for target lock-on and free aiming. This category really comes down to the controller and what's best for you. The Sixaxis' analogue sticks are a little looser than the 360's, making free-aiming harder, but when using target lock-on both controllers work as well as each other. In Europe the PS3's Dual Shock 3 isn't available so we're going to have to make do with a standard Sixaxis pad, without rumble support. With a Sixaxis you get optional motion control for reloading, riding bikes and boats, and flying helicopters. In practice none of these additions add anything to the experience and are in fact harder to use than the standard controls. Load times are slightly quicker on the PS3, although not significantly so.

Verdict:
With neither version offering anything over the other (we're discounting the motion control in the PS3 game as it's not worth using) this section is an absolute tie - we hope the rumble-equipped Dual Shock 3 will be available in Europe soon. Personally the Xbox 360 pad has a slight edge when using manual aiming and the triggers feel better for driving, but this is just a personal preference.
