OPM haven't reviewed it yet, but I'm sure I've seen that comment attributed to someone else. There will be actual additions to the story (downloads on or just after release) and a new survivor mode for the hardcore player. The graphics look almost identical, there may be some slight difference. Maybe if you're a graphics whore and spot things like 2 less colours in a 32k coloured texture then it might matter.

But extra content is often worth it, how many people went and got GTA4 on the 360 for the extra content, and we still don't know what it is yet!

However, a better reason to get it on 360 if you have both systems is surely the price difference!

Official Playstation magazine said the graphics are not as good as they were on the 360 (as always tho coming from them u really have to believe it) so my advice to people who havent played it yet is sod the minigames and go get the 360 version, or better yet the PC on if your pc is up to it...trust me its an awesome game

Having played the 360 version, and usually not a gamer that enjoys the FPS genre, all I can say is that PS3 owners are in for a real treat. Enjoy! Opening the fridge door at 3am in a darkened kitchen has become a whole new experience.
