Anyone snag this?

I picked mine up today, and got a couple extra preorder codes.

So far? This game is surprisingly fun. I imagined that it'd be "alright," but I sat playing from 5 til 11 tonight, and was hesitant to shut off the PS3. Its really great. Imagine a superhero (or antihero) game where the developers didn't depend on a licensed character to sell a (generally a sub par) game. It does a lot of really cool -superhero-game- stuff, but I feel like there's more weight to it, and more weight to the decisions you're making.

I'm playing through on the hero side right now, and can easily see myself going back and doing villain stuff. It seems like the game can change pretty drastically if you do.

I usually tend to hate "fetch" things in open world games, like collecting ****, or doing like little pesky **** like that. But so far I found myself getting sidetracked (and enjoying it) on my way to story missions by side stuff and collecting. The option to Heal/Drain people lying on the streets is really pretty cool too. I'd end up in the middle of a mission and spot someone on the ground, and drop down to heal them before zapping some Reapers.


Pretty stellar.
