The game could've achieved greatness had it not been for clunky combat, mixed in with a bad lock-on system that wears and tears on you.Controls are too slow or sluggish when you want to turn quickly, and the control layout was too unique that I couldn't get used to pushing the right button I wanted.Driving in the car is fun until its mission-based, then it goes downhill after that.When you imagine yourself in a movie like world you expect to feel like you are the hero to the story, yet in AITD you will constantly re-spawn,may get stuck in parts of the game that ratchets up the difficulty to a degree in frustration,(and I enjoyed Ninja Gaiden 2)and yet the more you venture on,the more you realize that this game could've been amazing.Its a diamond in the rough,problem here is it will not get any more polished than it is.If you do plan on playing it,rent it before you decide if it was worth the time.
