This game REALLY hits the nail on the head in terms of great storytelling. Picking up right from where the second left off, and continuing by introducing a new villain and adding a couple new characters, along with bringing back previous villains who find redemption and assist the gang. The gang dynamic is awesome. In terms of gameplay, this one basically repeats what the second game did right, and adds some new features to spice it up. Great level design and combat mechanics continue to be prevalent, and even more cool abilities are added, along with the ability to play as characters other than the three main gang members. It's a blast!
