Eurogamer is stirring. "That's completely unfair!" bleats Michael de Plater, with a whiff of the naughty schoolboy, in his unmistakable south Australian drawl.

You won't catch anyone at Rare calling it a homecoming. Or a departure, for that matter.

The heart of this first-person shooter sequel-by-a-different-developer is choice - choice in a big free world.
