No. I'd still give it a 6/10 at this point. It's nowhere near as mundane as Jak, but it starting to feel repetitive (I need to make a topic about repetition). I could actually finish the game right now if I wanted to, but I'm trying to do all of the goals.

I did fight a better boss tonight. It was the first boss that you actually fight hand to hand (as opposed to, say, using a submarine or a robot), and it was also the first boss that I didn't beat on the first try.

Whether this game gets a 6 or a 5 could depend on the last boss. (That is, if the very last area doesn't strike me as noticeably better or worse than the first four areas.)
