I can honestly say that this is probably the most cinematic game I've ever played. I studied fine arts and studied film while in college and I always pay attention to the aesthetic choices that someone makes when producing anything. The story, the camera angles, the lighting, the acting, and especially the cut scenes all lend to the cinematic nature of this game. My friends have never just sat and watched me play a game like they do with this one. It truely is candy for the eyes.
On top of looking beautiful this game also delivers on the fun factor, mixing puzzles, platforming, and shooting for an always fresh game play. The controls are solid and the character movement is nearly flawless. You can move over/around/behind most objects in the game, as you will need to.
The online play is fun too. What I like though about the online experience is the availiblilty of a cooperative system. So many games out there focus all attention on deathmatch (which, don't get me wrong, is beyond fun). There is a coop system here and it is lengthy and challenging.
