It’s not a stretch to say this is one of the most influential games ever. It still possibly has the best gunplay of any third person shooter. The pacing is excellent. There’s tons of variety. It still looks really nice. The story is really fun. This shit is firing on all cylinders. It’s also perfect for when you can’t think of anything else to play. It gets a little weaker at some points on the island, but given how consistently brilliant the village and castle sections are, I can excuse those faults. And the island is still mostly really good, anyhow.

Good game.
