the 3rd one is out until the subtitle, future perfect.

1 had a very poor story mode. it boiled down to a time attack mode. the multiplayer and challanges though were still lots of fun. and even though the story mode wasn't great it was still great fun and trying to get under all those times to get all the secrets that as a joy.

that's what i don't like about the new one. it's sold out in a way. being published by ea. the difficulty is toned down. before it was a true gamers game. it didn't let you off with playing through on easy. it made you play through on easy and then said "want more? then try harder" the new one doesn't do that. it's easier and doesn't force you through hard mode to unlock everything and the challenges are that little bit easier. there are still challenges for some but the hardcore ness of the past isn't there now.
