at the initial launch of this game i was captivated by the atmosphere of this game, it really does a good job of setting the scenes. the voice acting for the enemies is good too, with plenty of memorable dialogue lines that the sequel does not capture. The music is amazing and the game play is very rapid, and requires you to stay on your feet. The only problem is the side missions, witch are very boring and monotonous with only a couple being enjoyable. Once the initial story missions are complete the game opens up dramatically with many areas, missions, game modes and challenges to overcome
