There's not much to say about this game. If you like anime, you'll like this. Go in with the mentality that you are being told a story, a story that has some gameplay sections.
There are more cutscenes and QTE sections than actual gameplay sections. The game manages it very well though, and nothing ever gets really stale. Still, I HAVE to point out that if you are expecting a multi-plat God of War this isn't it.
The gameplay itself. It varies from a beat-em up style, to a somewhat third-person shooter, boss battles, and QTE's. The latter being the majority as far as I can see.
The graphics on the enemies and the main cast is really well done. Some set pieces are down right beautiful. But regular npc's look horrible.
The soundtrack and story are awesome. If you're a fan of revenge stories this is for you.
In conclusion this is an interactive anime if you need to think of it that way. Very few gameplay sections compared to cutscenes, but if your main interest is to see the story [like myself] you won't mind. Definitely a rent.
