You might be surprised by how much you can miss the mark without a PS3. Watching a video is certainly an improvement over such a trivial case.

Personally, I would love to play it, but without the hardware, it's pretty difficult. At least via video I can appreciate the art vicariously, if at a lower interactive fidelity.

(Obviously games are always better played, but they're also fun to observe!)

I don't necessarily disagree, but even just watching the video of a playthrough is like watching the best indie animated movie I've ever seen.

Immersion is definitely an important point of the game.
