"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages
I bought the one and only Xbox copy at my local Best Buy earlier today since I've been waiting for this to come out, but I haven't cracked its seal yet. A few reviews I've seen made me consider taking it back but the previous posts here are convincing me to hang onto it.

So the consensus so far is a slightly prettier combination of the first two games? If so, that's fine by me. :getin:

"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages
I finally got to play the first level last night. The atmosphere is there, the gore is there (plenty of peds to run over), the exploration and secrets are there, the multiple characters are there, the way the tutorial and achievements are worded is funny in the crude way one would expect...all that feels a little off is the steering, but that's only after about 20 minutes of hands-on time.

I'm trying to think of words to describe the steering. It's not unplayable or anything. It could be a little "tighter" at high speeds so it feels more "arcade-y" like the DOS games felt. Maybe it's me, I'm not sure.
