Like the previous game, there are some all around improvements to character movement and combat, the always strafe mode when you have a gun out is a nice addition since theres basically never a time you want to do otherwise. Unfortunately this game's UI is way uglier than R&C2s, and the story this time around felt extremely generic compared to the first two games. The previous entries had nice little kid-friendly digs at corporatism and capitalism that this game throws out to centre a generic "crazy evil genius". I think some of the R&C2 legacy weapons from slim cognito are available way too late into the game, that even aquiring them ASAP for free provide no benefit on first playthough. By far the worst part about this game is the super boring holo-comic mini-games. I thought the forced Miles + MJ filler missions in Insomniac's Spider-Man game was bad but looks like useless filler has been apart of their game-design for a long time.
