Good damn good
The gmaeplay for combat is good but for platforming, swimming and that god awful part in Hades its frusturating. For platforming you just can't seem to get a great angle. For swimming it is hard to see and not fun at all. The part in Hades the hit detection is unforgiving and really annoying.
Sound is the best I've ever heard in a game. The score is breathaking and the cutscenes are just as good. Graphically this game is top 2 or 3 all time for the PS2.
After beating the game you don't have much reason to go back but if you do I find it stupid that cutscences can't be skipped and you get help messages all the time.\
If you don't play this game you deserve to die go get it now its cheap $20 or less
