Collection Issues: almost not collection-worthy (weak story/action), but kept for visuals
Collection Section: CG - General
Review: good design | animation, average concept | writing
[Note] Evaluating it on its own (independent of the videogame), the story/action/characters are weak. And even though the human character animation is often clunky (especially for the secondary characters) and some human CG faces are plastic-like, there is enough awesome animation and stunning visuals to make this worth it. The CG for inanimate objects (e.g., airplane, helicopter, buildings, etc.) is especially very realistic
