Montreal handled the first game and i' m glad they' re handling the follow up. I though they might have given it to one of their lesser studios - who' d only fukk it up.

I just hope that after having a whole 18-20 months extra (since releasing the first game) t work with UE3.0 they can make as big a graphical jump as Ubisoft Paris did with GRAW2.

I also hope that the PS3 version is up to par with the 360 version, because the PS3 version of the original wasn' t and neither was GRAW2.

Anyways, who here liked the first game?
