I love Samuel L. Jackson. I love hack-and-slash games with lots of blood, and a good comic relief.
Unfortunately, that is all this game really has to offer. The camera angles remind me of SEGA and there bad Sonic games, while the uneven combat can leave you wondering whether you're playing on too easy and too hard, at times. The fighting is inconsistent, and it seems like alot of the enemies are programmed to block all the time.
The storyline itself is decent, but if Surge is going to make us a play through a game with a storyline most fans already know, then, well, they should put a little more time into the rest of the game.
For gamers who don't know the story, I suggest watching the animated mini-series first, otherwise you'll get confused when the game assumes you HAVE seen the show, and leaves certain points out, leaving some people saying "Huh?"
All in all, if you don't mind a terrible camera, and repeating a few fights over and over (and over and over....), then the game offers a...unique... story.
We can only hope if there is some sequel in the future, that they put a little more effort into a game, and then work out the things that clearly frustrate the consumer.
