A great game almost ruined by a very poor level design. The game overall is great, the story is intriguing and gets you involved in it, time stops and you have to save the world from it happening. Visuals and graphics hold up amazingly and the game looks impressive, and the bits of live-action cinematics are a really nice touch.
The gameplay is where it's starting to lack a little, the gunplay is not the worst but it's not something to be very happy with. Checkpoints before battles are very poorly timed and set up, as you'll often go back 2-3 minutes after failing a battle and you'll just have to walk all the way back to it. The absolute worst part about the game is the ending itself, or better said the final battle. It has to be one of the worst level designs I've ever seen or played through. It gets so annoying and frustrating that you might just want to give up on it and screw the whole game with it, which I was really close to doing so. And after you've finally succeeded and gotten over it, the story's ending feels very anti-climactic, especially after such an awful final fight.
Overall I'd say the game is worth playing, but if there ever was a game where you should just play it on an easy difficulty just for the sake of the story, this is the one.
