I think if they had kept the game as Overstrike and not made it serious like it is now, it would have been better. This game's a little harder than I thought it'd be. Like their Normal mode is like most games' Hard mode. You just totally go down like a bitch. Maybe that's so people actually use Dalton's shield and Izzy's healing stuff. Anyway, I like that you get XP for stuff, skill trees are always cool, and being able to switch between characters is really handy so you can play as Naya, then switch to Izzy when someone goes down. Or like, you can have someone hold a sniper so you don't have to give up your shotgun or something. Doing the game by yourself would probably suck because the AI are a bunch of piddling dipshits, but I did half the demo by myself and that was fine. It's satisfying to use Naya's weapon and get a whole chain of dudes to explode. Because this is Insomniac Games we're talking about, I'm gonna have to give them the benefit of the doubt and buy the game.
