An excelent gaming experience besides being an absolute work of art.
Its a gaming experience that leaves you numb with the scope and scale of the world you are in. From the intensely desolate landscape to the brilliantly animated horse, its a fantasy world everyone should visit.
Riding through the lonely stretches of sand I wave my sword and check the location of my next foe. I turn a corner and the music changes sending a chill down my spine. And as the giant rises before me, I wornder what I was thinking when I set out with my puny little form to tackle this monster whose thumb is bigger than me.
Thats where the gaming mechanics kick in as I do everything from grabbing his fur, to running on his body, to using my horse to leap onto him a la Indiana Jones, and finally searching for weakpoints on his massive form.
The sheer briliance with wich every aspect of the game is tackled with ensures an experience for the purpose which games were invented in the first place - escape to a world where everything is possible.
Three final words - Please Play It.
