The trouble is that, while most of the buttons work well, aiming on the right touchpad takes a lot of getting used to and proves erratic even once you are up to speed. One of our main complaints about the original was the crowded nature of the screen, with a lot of functionality mapped to virtual buttons (reload, sprint, cover, etc.).Īs soon as you pop the Xperia Play gamepad out, with your key movements and actions now assigned to the various face buttons, the issue of an overly cluttered screen vanishes in an instant. The Xperia Play controls in this instance are very much a mixed blessing. There's also an online multiplayer mode to keep you coming back, but whether or not the added controls will help or hinder your efforts to rule the online world is open to debate. It plays a bit like the original Call of Duty games, meaning there's a lot of ducking and covering, peeking out for headshots, and some nice set pieces. You won't be surprised to discover that this Xperia Play-optimised edition is no different, even though the action is solid enough.
