The presentation in this game is truly amazing. Every little detail has been thought out and executed.
With that said, the writing still sucks. It's still too long-winded and leaves little to the imagination. I also find myself watching the "game" far more than I want to.
The controls kick ass, though. "Borrowing" from Splinter Cell did this game a lot of good.
