User Rating: 3.5 | Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom X360
I played kingdom under fire recenlty thought it was going to be huge. i was wrong. Like being smacked in the face or something.

so i started of playing as the vampire, im not quite sure of the name soz, instantly im thrown into confusion from the first cutscene, and then im in a forest.
confusing.
After my first battle i was kind of hoping for more, i played on hoping to see if there was something special, but i onestly couldent find it. enemies seem to all look the same, and they stand around you in a dynasty warriors fashion.

The weapon are a bit odd, i picked up the same katana with +5 on one and +8 on another, only difference i could find was a slight dmg increase, and a higher SP penalty. i could not find anything with a different name till a good bit later (By which then i was itching for mass effect)

The sp system really bugged me, why would you need mana to attack? it seems pointles and can leave you paralyzed in the middle of a troup of enemies.

the skill learning system its nasty, You may have to backtrack or go ahead just to get a spell that you dont know the effects of.

hrm what else.
i think thats it.
ah if you have noticed ive being pointing out all the bad stuff well heres the good stuff

Graphics are nice enough
Blood effects look alright
voice acting aint to shabby

erm...

sorry if ive missed any good points, this game in my own summary is a shallow , souless hack and slash, all flash and no substance game
