I'm not sure the review is playing the same game as me... I spent an hour last night going through the first couple of levels and found it to be a typical Treyarch COD placeholder offering; disappointing.
Linear levels, on-rails style routes, impassable rocks and rubble, invisible walls and level edges, uninspiring sound and an incomprehensible storyline.
Now I realise I'm only just starting the game and single-player at that, but the constant jumping from location to location (interogation one second, Cuba the next, Russia after that) is disorientating. and frankly annoying. I nearly gave up last night and took the bloody game back.
I'm going to take it online tonight in the slim hope that this will save the day but if you were thinking of buying this game for the single-player only I really wouldn't bother.
Incidentally I picked up the Xbox 360 version in Sainsburys for £27.98 when purchased with an additional £30 worth of groceries. Thank god I never paid £55 for it!
That's quite surprising. I'm rarely off of the internet on my HTC HD2 coupled with Opera and Skyfire; but then I chose the phone to support my internet habit.

Re: Easy does it!
A modest temperature change of 0.8 - 1 degree is far less than what we experience between night and day, let alone summer and winter.
It's not like we are suffering from "falling rain or terrible drought" now is it?
Oh, wait a minute...
What's that I hear?
Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!
Are we playing the same game?

Research fail
"All but the latest generation of monster Android handsets have screens frankly just a little too small for easy satnav viewing."
So the 4.2 inch screen on my WinMo powered HTC HD2 is too small then?
Such a shame.
It may tope SotD and Hot Fuzz...
...but does it top Spaced?
Paris because she should have a cameo.
@Monkey
You haven't really elaborated there, have you.
So what did I get wrong: the Desire has larger screen than the HD2? Different hardware? It's not Sense UI overlaid over the OS? What?
I think my post was factually correct from what I have seen.
So...
...it's just the HD2 with a different OS (hidden behind the Sense UI and a smaller screen then, yeah?
Surprising

Too late
Nothing is going to top The Mighty Boosh's take on Fantastic Voyage surely?
