This is a game that needs more attention that it is getting on this site. This game is not for those who are all action, not strategy. This is a game the add the best a several game type, and does them very nicely. Ok, for starters, lets talk about the Single-Player part of the game. This is just above-average. The story is memorable, but the part of the Single player that makes it just above-average is the linear story line. This could have been a good thing to capitalize on in the game because they could allowed for the character to switch storyline with the other main character's plot. Now, that could have made it interesting. Also, the missions in the game to get frustrating from time to time. Often you find yourself just retrying a mission over again just because you have to use a certain skill. The Multi-player is the best part of this game, and by far the best I have yet played (yes, that means Halo 2 and DOAU). The ability to trade skills, to battle one-on-one, to battle tag-team style and to battle in a battle royal, are very polished and well done. With the various game variations you can put on the game, it make sure that one battle is not like the other. The graphics, while not like Ninja Gaiden, are on par with the up coming title Unreal Championship 2. The animation of the skills, the character models (besides the protagonist, and Edgar), the lighting, the maps, and the destruction of the environment are phenomenal. The sound could have been better, by giving the protagonist a voice, or more voice overs between missions. Everything else is just butter. So get ready for a wild trip!
