Ok I read the reviews... I was in doubt but I can honestly say this game came to me out of no were it wasnt like most games getting hyped up and what not. So I check out a few videos and I see clips with like 100 npc's on screne at the same time which I haven't seen since E3 tech demos when company's were talking big about the power of next gen n what not. Long story short I got interested..said to hell with it and brought the game, and omg.. THIS IS NOT A BUTTON MASHER... by far, you will get you a$$ handed to you, lol if you like FABLE, the old LOTR EA games, Mark of Kai, and had some enjoyment in KUFCD, YOU WILL LIKE THIS...! Honestly, this took me back to fable a little.. and I did not know this was an OPEN WORLD game .. its all free roam and the maps are big as sh**t , and you can do what ever you want when you want.. I tried to take over a position with out my army and sat their for like 45 min fighting trolls or whatever they are.. the games controls at first I was like sh**t I cant get this.. then after dieing like 30 times and learing the block and attack moven and when to strike, once you learn it, It makes you feel unstopable, you can sneak up on enemys and just butcher their a$$'s ..they even have a counter system that throws it in a sorta slo-motion shot that looks off the chain.. and then the big battles OMG.. the production is on point the voice acting is on point.. hell Ive heard worse and the transition from the in game movie to the battle is something you just have to see for your self...their are no cut scenes just ingame movies which I think they did a great job ..graphics are a 9 at best Im serious go to the beach were you have to save your army on the first stage and look how gordgious the water looks..rolling into the beach ..sun reflections etc.. Bottom line if you liked fable minus alot of the character modification and buying houses good bad crap etc.. you'll love this.. you might get frustrated at times because how the save points work but once you figure how to use it to your advantage you'll respect it .. I've played games with real crap save points back in my nes and sega days so im ok with it.. I havent even finished the first stage/ map yet and its on normal....and I have been playing for about 7hrs.. yes MAP, a Big map...and yes side missions and all.. Make your own review I dont think people realize that you are letting someone else tell you what to like when you listen to these sites... its what one person though of a game whether they like games like that or not... hell I dont like playin turn based games so I might give it a 3.0..you might though.. you need to go out and play it for yourself and make your own review... its Open world, some Rpg touches, great sound, great to pick up and play.. with nice tight controls, that are always responsive...it has a stratigic control scheme, that is really rewarding .. might not be your cup of tea so to say but I say check it out.. Beats Conan by a long shot.. but Conan really wasnt that good an liener.. :)
