Also-ran series occasionally feature a stand out entry that gets a wider audience excited. Red Faction Guerilla or Just Cause 2 certainly fit the bill but these tend to go nowhere with the sequel and this game sadly follows suit. The gliding mechanics and the hookshot are still a delight and the game is certainly pretty but everything else is the definition of mediocre. Nothing new is brought to the table either. The game was thankfully patched into a healthy state by the time i started and I can live with the again bland narrative but grinding identical/bad shooting or driving mini quests to get to the somewhat better story missions burned me out, so I gave up halfway through. This isn't a "bad" game and the PC version is destined to get interesting mods but i would suggest to get the 2nd one on the cheap for an identical experience and i demand more of a sequel. 6,5/10
