Cleared the prologue and the first two chapters last night (sometime between 6 and 8 am, following on 3-hour sessions with first Raiden IV and then Blazblue... I went all out on gaming last night and had an absolute blast: cool games all of them).
It's similar to GTAIV and Far Cry 2 in that it has an awesome engine capable of a great many cool new tricks, but fails to actually graft a complete game onto it. Design is lacking, in other words. Plus it's very easy, again like GTAIV and Far Cry 2. On the other hand, unlike these two games, it is NOT free-roaming, which means that there's zero fat in it and it's therefore still quite playable. If I end up giving the other two 3/5, this will probably get a 4.
In other news, WHY THE HELL CAN'T I CHOOSE HARD DIFFICULTY FROM THE BEGINNING? At least DO NOT FUCKING TELL ME right away that THERE IS another difficulty level IF YOU ARE NOT ALSO GOING TO ALLOW ME TO CHOOSE IT!
Meh.
