A great place to start playing these
This adds destructible buildings. Incredibly fun. I do think that the third one does better at not relying too heavily on it. As much as I enjoyed myself I did end up getting bored with it in this one, and that didn't happen there. Being able to fire your guns in freefall is a great addition. You can now parachute until you get into firing range, free fall and shoot, and then go back to parachuting just in time so you don't smack too hard into the ground when you reach it. Also, you are able to stand on the outside of any vehicle(whether it's got wheels, if it sails or even flies, yes, this includes any jet that you can get close enough to) and fire your guns. This goes for before you even take out the original occupant of the vehicle. In fact it can be part of doing that. C4 is sticky and you can plant all of the individual ones and then detonate them all at once. The grappling hook is significantly faster and you can now use it to tether together any two things, which allows you to break the heads off of the numerous statues and even using it as a wrecking ball, simply by sticking it to a vehicle that has the pull and/or speed to, well, pull it off. You can dual wield grenade launchers. The system for ordering in vehicles and weapons costs a lot of in-game currency. I prefer the way they handle it in the immediate sequel where it's infinite but you can only order one at a time early on. You have to earn your right to order multiple and then you can restore your ability to order things. This is also the one where some of the weapons are absolutely ridiculous and barely even resemble real world weapons and it’s glorious. If you're going back through the franchise this is a really great place to start. The first one by later standards is just a bit too small, slow and limited, despite it not being that when it first came out. Satisfying to get to fight a stand-in for Kim Jong-Il. They could have leaned more into the ridiculous things that he convinced his people.
