I’m still playing this when I’ve got an odd half hour spare.

It’s still absolutely wonderful.

Every time I think I might be getting a little tired of it, I fire it up again and find myself running and flying around with a huge grin on my face.

Last night I had an excellent time in helicopters and now I’ve worked out how to use my parachute and grapple to fly across flat ground I’ve been enjoying just floating along.

If you haven’t yet, get a helicopter with rockets and blow stuff up. Oh, and grab a mounted gun and walk around with it. Huge amounts of carnage await you.

Utterly, absolutely fantastic. Shame the full game comes out when I’m in the US for three weeks. I’m tempted to buy the PS3 version while I’m over there, just so I can play it on my brother-in-laws PS3 while I’m on holiday.

That would be silly, though. Much better plan to order a copy to be waiting for me when I get home, to help with the post-holiday blues.
