PS3 exclusives are the definition of 'these are fine', I will say though, the only two games that I actually feel legitimate nostalgia for are, strangely, this and Borderlands 2.
I won't talk about the extremely basic (to the point of being funny) karma system, it's been talked about to death. I will, however, say that whilst the combat in this game is the most unrefined, with a lot of fat that gets trimmed in later games (the pointless cover system, the useless dodge system). in the series, the climbing strangely holds up really well and still feels really nice, and this game has the most visual style (other than the terrible character animation) of the whole series. From the live-action videos on the TV screens to the clearly comic book inspired character and world design, this game's visual style oozes with dark and gritty charm.
Much like Prototype, which I played the yesterday, I haven't finished this game this time, I had my time with it when I was younger, but I'm happy with the solid four-to-six hours I had today.
