Bought this the first day it came out...
I finally popped it into my 360 and began to create my character. The first thing I noticed was the graphics. They were poor. They looked like a crappy PS2 game. Next I noticed that the Character Creator was horrible! There were 2 or 3 ways to customize your character. But I blew it off, remembering that most RPGs have a lousy character creator, and graphics aren't everything.
My friend and I finished our characters and jumped into the game... OMG!!! I had to blink a few times and rub my eyes to make sure this was really happening to me. The frame rate was the worst I had ever seen! It was truly unplayable!. If I hadn't spent $65.00 I would have stopped playing that very second. But I kept going, as painful as it was.
The NPC AI was disgusting. Mobs would slide across the ground as if on conveyor belts. Bears would swipe there claws at you from 20 ft away and still get a perfect hit.
I've got to be honest with all you folks out there reading this review. This was the first time I had ever come so close to crying because of a stupid game. My friend and I just kept repeating things like "This can't be real!", "This game is a joke!", "This is the worst day of my life!", over our mics.
Whoever took part in the creation of this game is going to hell. There is NO FREAKING WAY a decent human being can put a $60 price on such a piece of garbage. I swear to God that these people are lucky I didn't put a hit out on them. I even went to Gamestop the next day and begged the guy to please give me my money back. He could only give me $20 because the word was out that it was the crappiest game of all time.
I hope my review was helpful. This review's only purpose is to hopefully save an unsuspecting person from buying this blight and blowing their brains out.
