i don't know, i just played the demo. it is somewhat linear, but the thing is it's really fast-paced. the fact that you have a very specific path laid out for you leads to somewhat limited style of play... but it's really good at the things it does well. it kinda makes me think of crank
...you're always running and jumping off buildings while being chased ... you don't really have time to enjoy the sweet graphics. the demo was definitely a lot of fun, anyway...
