I actually got this on PS2 for my birthday, even though I was bad mouthing a week before to the person who got it for me. I was of the camp that really didn't think this game needed to be made. I had thought it was just using a license for the sake of using a license.
With that said, I've been impressed by it so far, granted I've only gotten as far as just the initial tutorial missions, I've got family in town so I haven't really had a chance to delve into it fully.
One of the initial things I've seen so far that bugged me though was the player's run animation. Walking looks fine but the run animation just looks completely unnatural, and sprinting is just the run sped up.
I do have to say that I think its got the best tutorial/intro stuff I've seen yet. They do a good job of keeping the player in the enviroment while learning the ropes.
