Yes, this game is easy. Very easy for any old school platform game enthusiast. That said, the game is fun. The graphics are amazing, no slowdown at all so far from what I have played. For 2007 I'd say it is a must have game for any PS3 owner, and there aren't many of those. What I like most about it is simply realizing what this machine is capable of within a year of its launch. The game itself is somewhat simplistic, but there is enough in it that would make me run through it a second time. I hope this is just a taste to come for what the PS3 will deliver. The weapons are very unique. It pays to experiment and see what you can do at times. The comedy is a good addition between the action, it keeps the tension light in the face of so many games that take themselves way to seriously. It is simply a game that anyone can enjoy, and that is what I like about it.
It is that same accessibility that is a bit of a draw back for me. Other games like Mario can leave the player struggling to finish a level. But this is a simple jog through a park in comparison. The sixaxsis stuff was the only part I had a problem with, and that is a problem with the controller itself. I hate the sixaxsis and hope Sony will either drop it entirely or make it optional. Aside from that it controlled quite well.
I love the way this game looks, the resolution at 720p looks great, the frame rate is solid so far, and the characters look like what Sony promised us with the PS2 with Toy Story quality. I could only hope that my other favorites from the PS2 era will be this nicely polished.
