Almost there, but not quite good enough

User Rating: 8.5 | Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom X360

When I heard that the newest installment of Kingdom under fire was more hack n' slash and RPG than RTS I was a lot more interested. However, the biggest problem with the game is the skill points. Instead of being able to swing or chop away until I widdle away their health, I had to stop every couple of swings to allow my SP to recharge. Beyond that very crippling piece of gameplay, it was very satisfying for a hack n' slash game.
Their aren't very many characters, but each of the six have a good story and great character development. The main problem I saw is the lack of talent in voice acting. Most of them sounded like monotone dead beats than actors. Celine's voice wasn't too bad, but still not where is should have been.
The graphics in the game are about where Ninety Nine Nights were. They aren't jaw droppingly beautiful, but they are at least nice to look at.
So to rap it up, this game is a definite rental for hack n' slash or RPG fans. It has just enough to make it worth playing, but not worth the $60 it costs to purchase it.
