Yet it's been in many third person games, a different camera perspective doesn't make running and jumping an innovation. So again I say it's not new. The ability to jump on things or climb doesn't magically make the game superior to everything else in the genre. So far it's only served to make people confused. Not all surfaces and obstacles in the game can be traversed in this way and they give you no indication as to which you can do this with and which you can't, a fact that was pointed out by reviewers who've disliked the game. I have yet to read a glowing review of this game, so far all I have seen are "confusing and weird" and negative reviews by people who were turned off by the confusing weirdness.

Also.. the customization is probably massively overstated. I'm sure they're counting slight differences like color and minor adjustments to sliders as if it were a unique look.
