Yes, Gina was quite a bit more likable in Runaway 3. In the first two games, I wanted Brian to end up with Sushi. (I still would have preferred this.

) But I found Gina's character far more likable/interesting in Runaway 3 and consequently, I cared more about her as an individual and Brian and Gina as a couple.
Becky, I'm really looking forward to that game.
