Ok, so this isn't as cohesive as 2, but good lord this game's shootouts are constantly changing it up. It seems that every enemy encounter throws something different at you. That plus the truly spectacular set-pieces make this game feel the most "larger than life" of the trilogy

The soundtrack is also a step up from 2, which was already a huge step up from 1.

The puzzles are also faaar more elaborate and interesting than the previous games, and so is the melee combat system. But this game also has way too many melee encounters, to the point of being kinda silly. Everytime I encountered one of those unarmed big dudes, I sighed a bit.

I don't know if I like Hard mode as much as 2's, they cranked up the damage a bit too much. Or better yet, enemies are too good a shot - you face someone with a machine gun, they're gonna hit every shot at you, and you'll be dead in 4 shots lol
