Entertaining and New Platform adventure style.
The game I picked up because I just liked the look of it, and when I played it I was pretty impressed, but then I am not a die hard PS2 fan, I am only recommending this as not a complete waste of time.
The graphics are fundementally inspiring, and the platform style of jumping and using your weapon as a tool to defeat problems and enemies increases the enjoyment and decreases the boredom (to an extent at least) the problem being is competing against major titles like Shinobi, Call of Duty, Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry you might put that kind of game chat in to this game but you will at least be able to complete a fresh and different game. Mind you it does beat a few games up in the hyped up section of PS2. I would much rather play this than FIFA, for example.
The game is worth looking back at, because some titles that don't make a hit because they lack hype are still hype material.
