The cutscenes are all done well, animations and graphics fantastic, then you keep progressing and start to feel like you did this mission already, go attack the fighters, escort the ship and protect it, you will be doing often throughout.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game starts off well, combat is fun, controls take a little time to get used too, but it eases them in slowly as you progress through campaign.
