This is a fantastic game. The story is deep and has heavy noire roots, though that does tend to clash with the John Woo-y gameplay. The ability to slow down time and leap through the air guns blazing is an experience to behold, and it has not been done better by a single game outside of the series yet. Not even Stranglehold could beat this.
