It's just really mid, one of the gaming world's most uninspired story campaigns, gameplay that's actually fun but gives away everything it has up its sleeve within the first hour then it just gets pretty stale. The main story could be completed in around 2-3 hours if the game did not force you to do activities in the world until you achieve enough points for the game to let you do the next mission. The biggest claim to fame is the tools you are given, mainly the parachute anytime you want and the grappling hook that will get you anywhere, these make any vehicle other than assault choppers obsolete, seriously, there's 0 reasons to ever get into a car, I wouldn't mind that much but the fucking grapple is clunky as all hell, there are so many needless animations and restrictions on where you can aim that will CONSTANTLY fuck you over, not to mention that explosions and enemy fire constantly shake your camera, making it literally impossible to see any fine detail. People have colorful memories of this game and that's where all the praise comes from, but this series seems like one of the middest gaming IPs I played, the first one was at least so bad that it was funny, but I didn't smile once playing this one. So why not give it less than 5/10? Well, it's not like it's bad or anything, it's just sorta there.
