This game is by far the best in its class. There is a reason why it has such good reviews.
The camera is controlled by the game which can sometimes be annoying; but at the same time it creates a cinematic feel throughout the game. The approach to lighting and angle make a normally boring climbing sequence into an interesting perspective on the size and feel of the world you are in.
The combat kicks ass, the more you play, the more you unlock. Each weapon has a unique feel with its own combos and specialties. It is violent and brutal. There is a lot of gore, especially on boss finishing moves. There is nothing more rewarding than ripping the legs off Hermes after you had to chase him around in circles just to fight him. Think hes a little sissy for running? No worries, you will get revenge. Every boss feels different and every level has new challenges. This is exceptionally good because it rewards you for the punishment you WILL take in learning the game with countless numbers of bloody fatalities . Depending on the difficulty, this game can really punish you. Even on normal, I died an easy 100 times in order to beat the game. Party, this will be due to trial and error of learning boss weaknesses and puzzles with pits of death. But once again, the more you play, the more you understand the tricks. My biggest complaint is the game is short. For an action game, its average, but its still easily completed in 10 hours. Seeing that you can buy this game for less than 20 bucks brand new, its totally worth the money. Highly recommended.
