It's the fact you get a gun that picks things up and throws things. You kill your enemies with big saw blades, rocks, tree stumps, explosive barrels and at times even thrown cars. It's also the quality of the story, our Earth ruined by the invading aliens, a desperate bunch of humans fighting powers much greater than themselves for the little that there is left. Wonderful scenery and well-constructed characters (barring Alyx, who's as three-dimensional as your average muppet).
