Not all that bad. Just don't expect the Japanese Gears of War.
I never had my expectations set high for this, but I'm a sucker for Japanese games, so I went and picked it up the cheapest price I could. What i got was what I expected.
What did I expect? Well, I played the demo a couple of times and I expected a substandard GoW clone with lashing of Japanese stylings with a pale skinned girl wielding a light saber-type thingy who I could throw at enemies. Oh and typically massive bosses. Also including some bland visuals, oversensitive aiming and slow-mo headshots.Yeah I really haven't sold the game to anyone, but stick with me.
What the game does have going for it is a petty interesting story, set piece battles with the levels re-shaping and deforming over time (its not quite as dynamic as it sounds but its still cool), fun shooting, a pale skinned girl wielding a light saber-type thingy who I could throw at enemies and some decent, albeit flawed, multiplayer.
I would go into more detail but I can't be arsed. may update when I've completed the game.
