Initial Impressions?

Now that the game is out and you've had a chance to play it, what are your initial impressions?

I'm personally very happy with the purchase. So far, it plays great, looks great, and has some of the best dialog in any game... particularly the banter between characters when they're driving in a car together. My favorite NPC so far is Little Jacob. I haven't even touched MP yet.

Initial impressions are that it's a great game that will keep me occupied for a long time. However, I do question all the 10's this game has gotten from various reviewers, because I have some issues with it that I think keeps it from that lofty status. The game is too dark (hard to see), the driving still kind of sucks for this time of game (it doesn't need to be realistic or even near it), and the on-foot controls/camera acts weird a lot to where you can get really frustrated in tight spaces.

But other than that, everything else is spot on. A lot of thought went into this game, and it seems like they covered just about every base. The game is so deep, that I'm enjoying every minute of it so far.

Loved it for 2 days. Then the cracks appeared and a giant gulf swallowed the fun I could have. I am not sure why but many sequels have less than the games before them and this is one of them. It sits on the shelf unplayed and never asked about. Lonely next to Drakes Fortune.
