Easily the best of the original trilogy. No terrible spaceship battles, the strafing and combat is great, levels are way more streamlined with less frustrating issues, the pacing is better, it feels all pretty good overall. Story is still just fine but I don’t play these for an interesting story. Will say I hate the yellow design for the menus and the writing does have a little less bite than the last two, but they were only minor nuisances to the game. Pretty good game, though I hate that this was made when Insomniac were probably at one of many peaks of them being crunched when making this game.


(Also forgot to post this four months ago after I finished playing the original trilogy around then).
