This is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in recent memory. The controls are very tight and respond just the way you want from a game like this. Using the advanced attack moves can sometimes be a little difficult, but then again, how could you call them advanced if they weren't a little difficult. The beauty of it was that I was able to play and finish the game without having to learn and rely on the advanced moves. The graphics are incredible! The animation of your character is awe inspiring and the background was like another character in the game, using lighting to create great effects and set the mood as you progress through the game. The sound was good, but I had a hard time hearing the dialogue sometimes. No matter how much I played with the audio settings, I just couldn't seem to get the dialogue to be clear. Thankfully, the dialogue only expanded on the storyline and cues to progessing through game are provided in the visions your character has. The game was a little short, took me about 10 hours to finish, but still are great game. I highly recommend adding this one to your collection.
