I'm not a big fan of this type of game. It did, however, intially, capture my interest. After the first three levels though it lost me. Unless you can get involved with the story I don't think there's anything here to set this game apart.
The game is a little too difficult at times for my tastes as a causal gamer who likes to play PS2 to relax and wind down.
The game is not appropriate for young children due to language as evidenced by it's "T" rating. My daughter fell in love with Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy and wanted this game too, but after hearing the language I had to shelve it.
