Whomever did the level design did a fantastic job... because this games setting is absolutely beautiful to look at... and I feel that the beauty in the world could've been utilized a lot more with an "open world" feel to the story instead of a linear story book (with horrendous voice acting... seriously... it was like he was trying to do his best David Hayter impression).
