Google interview coding vs code review

I have an on site interview coming up with Google. I am given a choice between a coding interview and a code review interview. Any input on how either of these go and which one to pick? #google

Is this for general SWE? What level? I’ve never heard of code review interview before, is that new?

I ended up taking the coding interview. It was not too difficult. I'd say leetcode easy to medium should help you practice well. I got an offer but ended up not going with Google.
