The storytelling issues and linear environments get in the way, but overall, Folklore is an enjoyable game
The game lets you go through a Journey to seven incredibly vibrant realms, all uniquely designed and tailored to fit their distinct personalities. From the ruins of the Undersea City to the never-ending maze of the Endless Corridor, each destination is different from the next.
Inspired by western fairy tales, you will interact or clash against a cast of over 100 originally designed creatures, and monsters. Using the SIXAXIS wireless controller, you will have to battle monsters and shake them into submission and get their powers from them. The absorbed powers will be used to capture or defeat the monsters that lie ahead.
You will begin the game as either Keats or Ellen and learn their story and gameplay style. Keats uses traditional direct attacks while Ellen uses strategic methods to trap her enemies. Decisions made in one story line will directly impact the story path of the other.
Finally, Folklore is indeed graphically superb (very HD TV friendly!). The graphics will keep you hooked on Folklore for hours on end, the gameplay can sometimes be a little bit slow. But those times are few and very minimal, as 99% of the time you'll be loving every second of what Folklore has to throw at you.
