Never tried 1. Started from 2, really enjoyed the atmosphere and music.
3 was just straight up garbage writing. Most half assed tech demo of a story ive ever seen. It looked Amazing, but that didn't change it from being dogshit worse then JJ abrams. I just did not buy Cell taking over the world and somehow beating all these dudes with nano suits. It would be like if in half life 2, if the military ruled the world after getting its ass handed to it by aliens in black mesa.
Also the bow broke the game.
