A fun short game
This game throws away the explorable planets of the previous games in favour of a fast pace mission based "shooter".
For a 6 hour game, this is acceptable.
The game is fun and explosive. there is also a lot of funny jokes spread in here as well (not as funny as R&C 3 thou').
There is not much more to say here realy...
If you want a more in depht look on it, I suggest you look on IGN or Google.
