Decided to put my monkey where my mouth is after by open world rant yesterday, finished Sleepy Dawgs this afternoon. Overall I'd say it was ok but pretty bland, I'd give it a 6.5. Once I realised the trick to gun combat was jumping over things to get slomo it was a lot more fun, but the basic gameplay loop of the game was pretty dull now that I think about it. Way too much driving, and the driving wasn't particularly good - the city design was so boring and I realised yesterday that the game is actually incredibly flat, it's a bit like a prettier version of doom. In GTA and even the SR games, the city feels three dimensional in that you can go on top of buildings and the world has some verticality, all of which was missing from SD.
And the story too, all the people who complained about GTA4 being too serious need to play this game. So po faced and self important!
Still, the jumping over things was rilly fun.
Downloaded SR3 and started it again. Lets do this. Later.
But now, time to go mutilate my beard. Hmmm.
