One of my favorite games in recent memory. Loved the story and the characters (superb voice acting and animation) and it looks beautiful as well. Combat is a bit hit and miss (excuse the pun) but on the whole it's functional. Highly recommended to anybody who missed it.
The sequel has been officially shelved. You have to ask yourself how a brilliant game like this was overshadowed and outsold by something as ludicrous as Kane and Lynch 2.
