Episode I was great, Episode II was... tolerable and playable, despite the same-veined sword-swinging, gravity-defying nonsense that made me hate most of the cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes so much on the cube.
Let's hope Ep III makes a return to the roots... give us lots of crazy, meandering cutscenes and an epic quest. I like to see a developer give us what *he* wants to see rather than what he thinks we want to see!
e.g., let's hope there's less sword-fighting frog-hopping bullshit as in Ep II and more crazy-sad suicide-implicating flashbacks with Ziggy ala Ep I.
Also, let's see some *real piano* or orchestral, or heck, some rock music in the next one . That elevator techno crap from Ep II just about made me sick, just like Digital Devil Saga 2's soul-sapping Michael-Bolton-esque techno-squid yuck.
