This game is just not that good. All it would take is ONE look at the TITLE and you will know how bad the game is.

Sure, it gives a few kicks right off the bat and the game looks good (what games DON'T look good on the PS3 and 360 these days) but it's just another run of the mill hack and slash game.

I am sure there is going to be a cadre of people who really like this game. I can understand that, but it's not for me.

I hope I sell TONS of this game but I am not going to sincerely recommend it to any of my customers. It has no real story to speak of, the heroine is bland and forgettable.

The music is actually pretty cool but because it's involved with this pretty plain game, is forgettable as well.

I am not saying this game is AWFUL, it's just not good. Conan was a better game. Ninja Gaiden II is a better game. Devil May Cry 4 is a better game. For us PS3 owners, the new God of War will hopefully be better than this game.

There are plenty of other games on the Xbox 360 that will fill this itch and are OUTSTANDING. This game is not among them. The 360 still has the best selection of good action games but this game is not among them.

Don't buy this game before you play it.

    There should be a new genre made for games like this, called "Crap".

    Hack 'n Slash games are meant to relax the player with simple, fast, mindless action. They are the junk food equivalent of video games. You can't eat fillet mignon every day; occasionally we want a greasy whopper. X-Blad... Read Full Review
