The streamlining of so many systems and the bizarre emphasis on its commentary on video game violence is what ultimately makes this nigh unplayable for me. It's by no means "one of the worst games ever made" or anything of the sort, but there really isn't anything to love about this one. It's the most boring kind of bad there is, and for a series I'd been really loving up to this point it's a little heartbreaking to play this. Might get back to it someday.
