Both times I've played this game from start to finish I've done it in one sitting and that definitely means something good I think. I'm not sure the story is all that amazing but Insomniac makes weapons feel really good, hybrids are fun to kill Grim enemy sections are like Ravenholm but more punchy in the combat. I think it falls short towards the end and the objectives aren't amazing, but what's here is a fun linear shooter. A shame it hasn't been returned to since because there's a great deal of potential for a modern take, or retake. A lot of the physics and interactions with enemies and the environment are rock solid even today, just iffy in it's visual blur, browness, and FOV. A remastered trilogy would fit nicely in the current Insomniac catalogue to tide over between the blockbuster releases like Ratchet and Clank or Marvel stuff.
