Not that bad...yet not THAT good

Ok so, me being a massive RPG fan and reading all the reviews of the universe on this game before i even got myself a PS3, decided Folklore would be a fantastic RPG journey, with a gripping story and seemless hours of fun gameplay. However sadly, i found myself quite wrong..
Before i begin, this is NOT a flame review of Folklore, there are parts that i enjoy, of which i will get to. Firstly however, the gameplay. EXTREMELY frustrating and annoying to have finally completed a chapter with Keats, to then complete it AGAIN with Ellen. That section of the game could have been improved that Keats and Ellen go to completely different locations for each characters chapters. The gameplay is also quite rinse and repeat, you get an item, go to the Netherworld, defeat the Folklore, return to Doolin, watch a few more boring "cutscenes", get another item and yeah...rinse and repeat. Enough flaming, for now. The graphics, are GORGEOUS, i have never played a game that looks so good (excluding Oblivion, remembering i havent had my PS3 for long =P) and the actual cutscenes in the game are just brilliant, and really bring the game to life. Also the game had a really cool idea (similar to Poke'mon but ya get that) however wasn't executed to the potential it could of been. On another good note, the load times are quite quick, and with the amount of extra content available will definately add hours to the gamers who love it. So to wrap it up, love it or hate it fellow PS3 gamers, this is just my opinion, don't let it discourage you, however use it as a warning.
