The Good: This was one of the first "next gen" show-off titles. The graphics
in this game are beatiful with the game set in a medieval feudal Japan. The
cinatics are long and story heavy which is what most hack n slash fans enjoy
(including myself). The voice acting is among one of my favorites ever. Some
of the cut-scenes have real-time events that are easy but they make sure you
never drop the controller, reminiscant of God of War. Nariko's controles are
also very familiar to anyone who is a fan of Kratos and the PS2 God or War
games.
The Bad: This game is incredibly short. An average gamer will finish this
game in about 5 or 6 hours max. Similar games (ahem! God of War) usually
have at least 10 to 12 hours of gameplay. Getting used to the sixaxis
controles was also kinda hard to start with (but was much funner once you
did get used to them).
Overall: As much as I loved this game (and I did... very very much),
renting this game is your best bet. Mainly because once you finished the
main storyline, the game is pretty much over. Replayability is very light. But
I would suggest gamers go back and rent it again once the PS3 Trophies
come out. They will probably be easy to get and seeing the game's story
and cut-scenes a second time around is still a great way to kill another
6 hours.
