-Pros-
*Excellent Combat System
*Superb Graphics
*Not Massively Complicated in Gameplay
*Unique Weapons and Characters
*Level up to get Stronger and Tougher
*Lots of Replay Value
*Gorgeous Environments
*Wicked AI
*Alternate Endings
*Excellent Audio

-Cons-
*Story a Bit Hard to Follow
*Buggy/Glitches (Patch 1.1 Available)
*Leveling up only goes to Level 22.
*No one Online for Multiplayer
*Minimal Sidequests

Summary- If youre looking for an in-depth gameplay mechanics look elsewhere like Morrowind. If you're looking for simple hack and slash action there is no better game than Blade of Darkness!!!

Hardware/Software Issues- If you have a multi core CPU, disable all but one core if you experience the game running too 'fast.' Or try a hotfix of some kind.

Highly recommended you apply patch 1.1 to fix bug issues.
