Incredible game... both challenging in gameplay and immersive storyline

when I first saw the preview of this game, way back sometime I was very impressed. I am personally a fan of cel-shaded games, it is such an unused art style used in games in general. However, gameplay is very solid in the game, each beam katana that is acquired not only adds strengths/weaknesses but it adds new aesthetics (combo appearance) to the fighting system. Storyline is very good, sort of. it is not really a storyline at all. But the character development, from Travis to Sylvia to even the bosses are incredible. Voice acting and character design bring every single character to life... literally.

The faults to this game are only framerate issues, which will only be encountered in the latter portion of the game when fighting an onslaught on enemies. Also, boss battles are a little on the tedious side, where the choice is kill him as fast as you can (thus increasing likelihood of death) or taking it slowly.

Gameplay: 8.5
I love the combat system, it would be very boring if there were no other "styles" of fighting. But there is. Unfortunately boss battles are very long... basically hit-an-run the entire time.

Graphics: 10
Excellent cell shading. One of the best. His art design has made me of fan of Suda 51.

Story: 9
Not really an good story, until the end. Where the game has the best dialogue that I have seen. Actually the game's dialogue is superior, from the crazy Sylvia to the absolutely unique personas of each boss.

Overall 9
Great game that is worth buying. I will be waiting for an impending sequel or perhaps Suda;s next project.
