It is fun at first. A bit of old school RE get the keys to open doors so on and so forth. The battle sequences are fun and take practice with blocking and timing if u want to survive long. Game is simply waay too hard. Boss battles are so uneven its not even funny. I kill a 300 ft. tall dinosaur fossil with my ninja smiling all the way. Then the next chapter you play as rachel the monster hunter and u fight this little guy with knives, guns and horribly cheap moves. Doesnt make sense to me at all way too imbalanced. This boss i speak of is in a trench coat and will just unload shot after shot at u no reloading and when you get in close to do some damage he pops u into the air and shoots u in the air with each bullet keeping u up in the air and no way to defend yourself. If you are lucky enough to not get launched, he dodges nearly all your swings with the only slow weapon rachel has. The bottom line.... expect to be pissed off if u buy this game.

It has undeniable charm but its just not fun when you fight enemies who have more and better moves than you. (not just the bosses). For instance the weakest of the enemies can go right thru your block stance and cut ur throat for medium damage. How can u defeat enemies who always outnumber you and can ignore your blocks.... I have NO moves that ignores any of their blocks.

This style of die and load die and load gameplay sure doesnt keep u interested in the story. In fact I must be about halfway thru and the plot is a yawn at best even with Rachel's jiggling bussom it just isnt rewarding enough to make up for the unfair fights, bad platforming (think Prince of persia sands of time(wall running etc) but this game just makes platforming another frustrating thing in the way. Seems like i can name quite a few games that this one derived from and they all do a better job.

Bottom line: This game is highly overrated do not believe the hype. I watched the review and thought it looked great but games are SUPPOSED TO BE FUN not make u want to break stuff.
