A ridiculously large toybox, where every toy is a type of gun. The focus on the gunplay, the upgrading and the general grinding makes it less appealing to me personally, but compensates it with a breath of game styles that makes it almost impossible not to like. If you don't find the races appealing, chances are you'll like the dogfight, and so on. Despite that, these games bear witness to a time in gaming where titles attempted to be for almost everyone and lose themselves in the feature creep.
