I pre-ordered this and it was worth the 60 bucks.
They made a beautiful multiplayer and an alright single player. The single player gameplay is good but I disliked the idea of having elemental powers instead of a variety of weapons. Moves with the blade of chaos was easy to perform but not anymore. Eg: cyclone of chaos was previously L1+square but now is (hold)square [thus takes time to perform]. The idea of environmental weapons is good, but that shouldn't have replaced weapons that you get from bosses.
Multiplayer is great. Its got a few glitches but overall is really fun to play, specially if you as good as me.... ;) Classes are well distinguished and balanced. They shouldn't have removed the trap-friendly-fire as it made things more fun and exciting. Hammers are OP but its possible to take out someone with one. The maps are brilliantly designed but more inmap godly-items should be introduced.
My Verdict : 9.0
