I have waited to review this game until i beat it. It is a short game, probably took me less than 10 hrs to complete and there's not much desire to go back and replay it. The graphics and story are the best part of the game. Very well done. The gameplay comes up a bit short on depth. The fighting system is different from god of war but not in a bad way. I wish they could incorporate a jump button to make the machanics of the game work a little better. Its hard to believe this chick can do so many amazing moves in battle but i cant control her jumping? Maybe for the next one...if they that happens...Anyway, fighting 500-1000 soldiers at once was visually stunning but they dont all come at you at once so its not as hard as it sounds. usually some will wait for others to attack and so on.... There was some slow downs on screen for me but not many, considering everything thats going on at one time. The boss battles are nothing special...4 main bosses, one of which you fight twice and the final battle is 3 stages against the same guy. None were overly hard. Once the game is finished you're left with a feeling like there should have been a lot more to it.
Overall it was a good try but not really worth the hype. If you're into renting games, try it for a week and that will probably do it for you. It wont take you long to finish this one off even for a casual gamer.
