Game-play is more linear with inaccessible areas because you're in a city,  
but that helps to concentrate on the mission at hand. You can also  
overturn cars by kicking them which can be quite fun. Selecting cloak and  
armor is a lot quicker with shortcut keys. Water physics are also  
improved, most notable in the intro.

Cut-scenes are so well integrated into the action that I would rather call  
them events than cut-scenes - and it is very well done integrating  
seamlessly into the action. =)

I would have have preferred a more GTA-like open-ended approach, but I say  
that about all games ;)
The only negative thing I can think of is that the leaves aren't as  
detailed as in Crysis. But then again the roads and buildings are way  
better than Crysis.

I want to get to know the Sandbox editor well, because there is a project  
that I'd like to do with it =)
