I'm sort of on the fence on this game, I've played the demo and enjoyed the combat system but I found the framerate to be not quite adequate so for those who purchased the retail version does the game have any lag during gameplay sequences, I wouldn't mind if it was a little during some cutscene.

Thx in advance.

I didn't experiance any lag. The gameplay was superb imo. Everything had a real nice flow to it. You should definitely buy this game because it is one of the best games the PS3 has to offer. It said to not have replay value, but I enjoyed so much, that I am already on my third go around. I can see myself having nothing to play in the future and playing this game again.

Nope. No real lag that would make you go:

lag? its not an online game. if you mean frame rate issues or slowdown, then it does but is not so noticable. except last chapter because Noriko is a such a bad-ass.

Couple of framerate issues near the end of the game, when there are literally hundreds of enemies on screen at the same time, but its so hectic at that point that it's not a distraction. All in all its a beautiful game, it reminds me of an old Disney cartoon at times. Wonderful animation. The cutscenes are out of this world.

It's basically like playing through an epic 7 hour movie, and the action is broken up enough by cutscenes and levels where you man (or wo-man, in this case?) a cannon, or use Kai's crossbow to take out approaching soldiers. The boss fights also serve to keep the game from being monotonous.

I think it was a great purchase, I consider it something of a collectors item. It's not something I will trade in.

I saw a tiny bit at the start of new areas but it cleared quickly. Overall it ran very well. It wasn't choppy lag but you could see it slow at the new areas. The game was fantastic though. I'd highly recommend either buying or renting.

The gameplay framerate is pretty much flawless. Once in a while you'll see a frame hiccup in a cinematic when its loading the next level, but its not to often and its not very bad. And once again it never happens during gameplay. The retail game is definately more refined than the demo. The cinematics in the game are probably the best I've seen to date.... If you own a PS3 you MUST buy this game.

A little here and there but not something that would bother you like the Demo did.
