Sure, X-Blades is a little rough around it's edges, but what game isn't?
Negatives- Moves are way to expensive, levels get very repetitive, story lacks an element to draw in the gamer and make them interested.
People need to relax and give this game a little more credit. For its bargain bin price it is an awesome game. It's fun, the story is unique despite what people say....I haven't heard anything of its kind anyway. The graphics and stunning and interesting to look at. The outfits and weapons are well designed as well. If you want a game that has plenty of customization options then this is the game for you, it is almost endless although you won't be able to afford nearly half the options because they are ridiculously priced (so pick carefully). I think the biggest problem that this game had was that the story was missing just a little something to make it more interesting, it didn't make me want to play the entire thing through. They should make a sequel and improve on it because it has the potential to be something awesome. The bottom line is that if you want a game that will be fun for a little while, and will occupy you for a decent amount of time, for a bargain bin price...this is it. Rent it first though to see if it is your cup of tea. I personally really liked it.
