I think the cheating is much easier than in the past since you don't have to put them in again every time
Also you can't really blame a game for making it harder to cheat.
Only things i don't like (only minor stuff):
- Still the Sixaxis tutorial. I finaly completed it, but it still doesn't disappear. Because it's only in the Menu outside of missions, i often select it by mistake and get teleported to the airport
- Weapons. There fewer than before, some were useless anyway, some i do miss.
- mp3. Why can't i listen to the music on my HDD like on the PC. On the PC you had to put the music in the special music folder, on PS3/Xbox 360 the music folder is predefined anyway, they should just use it.
But those are very minor details, it's an astonishing game that suprises me with every time. It's DAMN realistic and at the same time so hollywood-like that you could just record ingame vids and use them as movies. You don't need cutscenes anymore to have those cool moments where enemy fall down the building etc.
