Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
- Weaker Soundtrack: R&C (2002) had some bangers and real personality for the time it was composed, however, here I'm finding many serviceable but otherwise forgettable tracks that tend to fade into the background instead of bop in the foreground.

Despite playing this game with an Xbox style controller, the experience was still incredible and I must give them credit for the controller support.
