I'm finally getting around to playing this, and I love it. Yeah, the free-roaming city stuff sucks, and if Suda gets to do the sequel he wants to do he should put some more stuff in it to do (since I'm pretty sure he really wants it there in the first place and probably wouldn't want to remove it entirely). The bike can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but that tight cornering technique really helps. The first fight felt a little too easy but it picked up quickly, and, though the controls are simple and it sometimes feels like I'm button mashing, I really get into the combat. I was never really someone who played M-rated games, not that I actively avoided them, I just wasn't attracted to them most of the time, but now I have more of them on the Wii than on all the consoles before it combined.
