Good, quick, action fix. I found it for $2.99!

This game isn't particularly great, but it's far from bad in my opinion. The plot of the story revolves around the main character's girlfriend being turned into an EOE ("all powerful-weapon thing..blah..blah.."). Basically, you fight through this game to shut down the evil corporation and find out who is behind it all. And now gameplay: You have a normal combo attack and a special power. For instance with the blue rod, you can press triangle to launch yourself into the air, via a stylish spinning and thrusting into the ground. The game also has action sequences which require you to press buttons for favorable outcomes (not getting shot in the effing face). You acquire several weapons throughout the game, but it's best to stick with a few, because leveling up your weapon so you can have a longer combo is done by defeating enemies, WITH THAT WEAPON. So if you use all of them, you probably won't end up with about 2 to 3 great damage dealer, but a bunch of weak weapons. The game isn't that difficult, but it keeps you on your toes. The game has an odd, yet interesting plot, as well as some creative weapons and gameplay, but small impurities keep this rock from being a gem. The graphics are a bit on the dull side, and the sound seems to have come straight from an action cartoon you watched when you were 4. The voice-acting is okay...but the story still flows along. And to the creators of this game. YOU CANNOT LET AN ASIAN GUY BE PLAYED BY A WHITE GUY, WHO DOES AN ASIAN ACCENT, LIKE MADONNA DOES AN ENGLISH ONE. *Ahem* Thank you. And that's about all I have to say about this game. For $2.99, this game is definitely worth a buy, I believe.
