    Beat this. Fantastic! So surprising that a franchise could start with such generic and boring entries, then suddenly transform into this. The settings are imaginative, beautiful, the shooting is varied, the game is always giving the player more toys to mess with, and the game encourages experimentation by giving the player a full wheel of weapons. Yep, rather than just carrying two guns like every generic shooter, this time around every collected weapon is added to your stash, rather like Half-Life, Prey, Rage, or Doom. It's simply more fun that way.
    Man, everything about the game was so much more interesting than the past two games. The environments looked captivating, the characters were actually worth a damn, and this time, I actually wanted to get into firefights. It just never got boring, it never felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again.

    The PlayStation Move controls were so much more accurate and comfortable than playing with analog sticks. The controls had no learning curve for me as I've played FPS games with the Razer Hydra before, so aiming only required a twitch. I've always found gamepads sluggish, even with the sensitivity cranked up, so this was a very relieving feature.

    This is such a leap over the first two games! They don't compare in the fucking slightest, I'm completely shocked this is the same series and the same developer.

      Editing … I too enjoyed this game. Was disappointed it didn't get much praise when it came out. I however did like the bland first two entries as well though.

      Editing … I also liked R2. Picked up R3 for $5 several months ago and still haven't finished it. Its time has kinda passed, though I'll try to revisit it one of these days. Same deal with Killzone 3, but I'll probably return to that one first.

      Editing … It's aged, but it's got some beautiful scenery. Do you have a PS Move? You gotta try it with PS Move.
