Not just viewing in fact; participating. The violence in the game is a bit overpowering at times, particularly in scenes after you've told your character to make a certain decision. Yes, I wanted to kill the sentry, but I didn't really think it was necessary to pummel his face over and over again with the end of my rifle. The main character, Walker, is a bit of a psychopath in cutscenes, which contrasts with his behaviour through the rest of the game where I'm quite cautious and willing to let my colleagues take the shots. That's always the danger in story-led and character-led games - when you give the player the choice of how to play, you are losing the control over the character's behaviour.
Nevertheless, I'm enjoying this immensely. I've played it for well over the "six hours" that many have said is the time it takes to complete, and have reached midway through Chapter 12. I died twice trying to reach a helicopter and then called it a night - but there's no danger that I'm not going back to it.
