There is button to lock on to the direction your enemy is facing. Typically its R1.The gameplay to me just felt mad dated and wonky. Playing a 3d beat em up style game but with no lock on or nothing. Half the time you are just swinging at air and yeah..the story goes from extremely fukking goofy to super serious drama. One minute you’re riding around the city go-karting dressed up as mario the next someone betrays you and you’re getting shot in the head and framed for murder.
