I get this off steam during a 75 % off sale . it be 10 buck down from 40 so I figure why not . I have never hear of the game so I be not expect much . Gameplay : excellent mechanic , similar in this respect to God of War , Prototype , and Onimusha . however it feel less repetitive than Prototype , not that it actually be less repetitive but I find I do not grow bore as quickly as Prototype . on pc this game be a port from console . overall the port be good , but no third-person console port will ever control as well on a mouse and keyboard when the game be design with a gamepad in mind . I go out and get a xbox360 controller . this basically nullify the issue with it be a port . controller be easy to set up and the game run great with it . so for game like this on a pc just bite the bullet and buy yourself a gamepad . do not worry , the mouse and keyboard will still be superior on FPS 's for a while still . graphic and artwork : texture be fairly low resolution , and the engine be base on age technology `` dx9 '' it be not bad for what it be , but it be definitely limit by it be Console origin . the artwork be excellent . a big congrat to the modeler , sculptor , texture artist and particularly the Art Director `` whoever that may be . '' the overall design be very cohesive . there be nothing outstandingly original here , the heavy body and armor thing have be do to death ever since Gears of war and quake , and the over size buster sword have be abuse for well over a decade . however , I find it all integrate well into the game and it be not distract `` I find the heavy armor in Gears of war distract . '' modeling and character design be top notch , I would love to see what this team could do with a cut edge engine and some tesselation . Story : should we even bother talk about this ? totally derivative . however the voice act and animation be excellent for a video game . Story segment fit seemlessly between sections\/levels and despite how contrived of a story it be , I find I enjoy it . I give this 4 out of 5 star . I actually think it be more of a 3.5 but 3 be definitely too low . this team put out a original title and succeed in entertaining I . I look forward to the future of this series and hopefully we 'll see some more originality , push of technology boundary , and attention to story next time around . I definitely reccommend but 40 be a little steep .
