Very underappreciated fantasticly fun but incredibly hard game!
The graphics are outstanding for its time. It did had some frame rate issues but none that you would really notice.
The action is pretty straight forward. Block attack and if you use magic you cast. Can take some time getting adjusted to the controls having to use both sticks. If your familair with how first person shooters work you will get adjusted rather quickly.
Best part about this game is its story and voice acting. The story grabs you and intertwines you with elemants of Good vs. Evil. That is the most important thing to me in any video game. I do not care about graphics at all. I care more about story and game play. This has it all. You want to stand back shooting arrows, go for it! You want to be in there face pounding them with sword and shield, Have at it!
All in all I think you will enjoy this game as much as I have. Enjoy!
