I won't call this a review because I don't feel like going that in-depth on the subject but allow me to share my thoughts on the game.

Pros:
Fantastic visual presentation
Wonderfully interesting narrative
Fun gameplay mechanics at times

Cons:
Sometimes feels non-interactive
Boss battles seem not up to series standard
Ends weakly

Overall I don’t think I’m disappointed in the game but I won’t say that I’m overly impressed either. Much like GTA4 I think if you look past the glitter and shine you find a game that either refuses to or can not match the luster and be as special as their predecessors.

Got to love the press... I find it most amusing that the author references the editors of PS Magazine or 1up.com as he would a professor of woman's studies or a think-tank pundit.
