Upon running the game for the first time, I was struck with awe at the graphical quality of the game as well as the sounds of the environment. I instantly fell in love with this game and played it several hours at a time. I was thinking and saying to myself, "This game deserves a 10 out of 10". However, as I progressed through the game, I suddenly realized that beyond all the wonderfully crafted eye-candy, gameplay was lacking. Lacking in the sense that eventually you'll be doing the same things over and over again until the very last mission.
The method in which you track and kill your target is essentially the same and for me, it did come to a point wherein I just wanted to get the game over with and kill all the targets. The ending twist is not at all surprising and after finishing the game, a certain amount of disappointment surfaced from within me due to the fact that the game really leaves you hanging when it's all said and done.
It is a trilogy after all, but the way the first game wrapped up was IMO not the best way to do it.
