Gamespot has got this game soo wrong.
Great graphics
Great story, considering you know norse mythology
The customozable aspect of the game is great
You actually need skill to play it
The Bad:
Bit glitchy in places
The story can get confusing
Valkyrie part of the game was cool at first, gets boring
The Ugly:
I cant think of anything really.
-----------
Well, let me start with that, gamespot, you have this review so wrong its unbelievable. Giving this game a 5.5? Its just absurd. Yet you give games which deserve that score or lower a 7 or 8. Give use the old gamespot back.
Anyway, the game. Plenty of people are saying for its long development it hasnt turned out as great as people have hoped. I agree somewhat, but this game is still amazing. I havent even finished it yet and it know its great.
The graphics engine the game uses is very sophisticated, you are constantly attacked by hordes of robot creatures and i havent had a situation where the game lags at all, even with all the gun fire and particle effects. And of course the havok engine gives us nice destroyable environments.
Some people say the story is a bit vague and confusing, while i agree with the confusion once you get your head round it you realise the story has had a lot of thought put into it, its simply awesome! If you know norse mythology, Loki and Odin (who is in the game without you knowing) then you will understand the story more than some.
The game offers some choices along the way, nothing to drastic however. You choose which path to take whether you stay more human or take the cybernetics, each path offering a different bonus.
The game offers some great multiplayer from what i have heared, i am waiting for people to play with me but still, it seems they focused a lot of the time on the multiplayer.
So, the game is very good, has some glitches but what game doesnt? The multiplayer is very good for all the people who like that stuff (including me), this is a definite buy, dont listen to gamespot on this one.
