Shows a lot of promise but has too many flaws.

Let's just get right to it. The camera angles are annoying and often you can't see where you are headed or where the monsters are. Once you slay a monster it doesn't matter, they pop right back up the next time you enter the room...the SAME monsters...to a T. Lame. The game is fun, the storyline is cool, but the additional weapons are hard to get.

Other frustrating things include that although the game tells you that you have cleared an area it is highly possible that you need to go back to an older room to search through it (fighting all the same monsters YET AGAIN) just to find a key that is hidden somewhere in one of forty rooms that you need for the next level. I found this annoying and clumsy by the game developers.

The game gets repetitive and the only challenge you will find once you quickly master the fighting system is finding objects and running around forever looking for things you thought you already had or that you didn't even know you needed.

With that said, the game's soundtrack is amazing and is really the best part of the game, but I cannot say that this game has any lasting value or replay value. You might not even want to finish it the first time.
