I'm with Psychotic. The game was amazing. But it was extremely stream-lined compared to the second. I kinda miss fighting over territories and earning the right to go on missions. In this game you can just blow through it without having to earn anything. Not necessarily a bad thing, as pointed it makes it more accessible to new-combers. But a little farther removed from the origins of the series. Didn't like Shaundi's redesign much either. But I played the game in small samplings so it lasted longer and felt more authentic. But I do believe it would have been an awesome 20-hour run straight through. They still had the humor and cocky epic action set-up properly. And the first two missions were an insanely awesome way to set up a game. But I think it could have used a few more months in development adding more meat. But "not enough of a good thing" doesn't mean it wasn't a good thing. I loved it. Just still prefer SR2 over-all
