I thought the start was amazing. I had a great time taking my time and exploring the city.
Then the game suddenly forced me to commit a brutal murder with a blunt looking triple hook thing and turned me into the normal mass murderer type again in the span of seconds. Not long after Doom's fire imps enter the stage followed by dark interiors with flickering lights, really...
It's good to read that it gets more interesting again as I have only just reached Elizabeth after a long run of the mill corridor shooter sequence with the weakest back tracking side quest ever. Funny that the radio announces that I am responsible for 8 deaths, more like way past 50 by now... Why does nobody talk and simply start shooting...
The setting, artwork, and sound are all great which is what keeps me interested together with the little snippets of information/story lying around. It would be nice if there was a save and quit, instead of your last check point was 20 minutes ago, keep going or lose all your progress.
Opening sequence: 10
From park to Elizabeth: 7
