Well, this isnt the full review but its a review of the first 3 hours.

The graphics are amazing so far and the enviroments are very well done.The player models look great and all the textures look very good.

Right now for graphics i give it an 8.

The gameplay is fanastic, I have never had this much fun with a game before.The game is full of hard puzzles that are very fun to do.The buttons are right were they need to be.It is fun using the whip to climb up stuff and using the gun in concetration mode.I bet when i get the bow later in the game its going to be even better.

I give gameplay a 9

The sound is fantastic.You can here the enviroment like the wind and the grass moving and stuff.You can also here the person you are controlling breath.The voices of the people are great and very well done and some of the things they say are very funny.

I gave sound a 10

I cant do a review of value or tilt so ill save it for the final review.

But i have played a few Modes of the multiplayer and i have to say that is very fun and will last a long time with 7 game modes and 17 maps.The score board shows you all the stats like all the kills you got and stuff.

Ill be doing my final review next week.

just turn up the brightness on your tv, it helps a lot.  i dont know if u have an hdtv but with mine all games on the default brightness are pretty dark.

I'm glad to see you're enjoying the game. I was very excited to play it until I saw OXM gave it a 6.0, but maybe now I'll still give it a shot.

 Not trying to be a wiseass, but did you turn up the brightness in the options menu?

sounds great!

 

how's the difficulty? is there an easy setting to play on, and how is the setting you are at now (whichever one it is)?

judge it based on harder or easier than gears of war on hardcore, which was pretty easy for me

well,im on easy and for me its hard (maybe because im an idiot) they have some puzzles i didnt know how to do.But some people who are good at puzzles should figure it out.Using the weapons and killing people is easy and a little hard because you cant take that much damge. im on level 3 and their going to get harder farther in.Its easy but really fun and i recmond anyone to buy it.

Well,some of them are doing certain stuff in certain levels,like stealing stuff without being caught and doing puunch combos.Ive completed 3 level and havent gotten any achievments.Im guessing you have to go play in hard mode to get the achivments for completing levelsbut i dont know since most of them are locked.

and their is a few multiplayer achivments.

The vid card in the 360 runs dark, while the vid card that runs in the PS3 runs light. It is just the difference between NCidia and AMD. Adjust the brightness to suit yoru own tastes.
