I think Runaway inspires an unusual degree of dislike because many people find the characters very unsympathetic, some of the gameplay mechanisms very annoying, and the story and writing offensively bad. The fact that it's a very polished and superficially attractive game just adds insult to injury.

At least that won't be a problem for this third installment, because honestly, it kind of looks like crap. Those character models and that stiff animation? Not particularly appealing. And that explosion is simply pathetic. Yeah, there's some nice background art, but the 3D work simply doesn't stack up.
