Trades the series focus on spectacle for a extremely strong story. Y'know they used to build the story around the setpieces before? The difference is recognizable during the tone, and its an adjustment if you're expecting something like the trilogy. Took me a while to get around to it, but the ending is truly a satisfying one.

Graphically the game equivalent to Avatar. An argument can be made its the best looking Playstation game. Truly astounding to experience the first time.

Bonus: the 2nd game I ever pre-ordered, it delivered. Also, the result of a gaming binge!
