Weak

Not Bad.....Not Good

This game starts out great with the blood, gore, fatalities, and stealth kills but gets very repetitious. I really enjoyed level 1 and toward the middle of level 2 I was doing the same things over and over. You would fight the EXACT same boss in every level. The boss would have the same moves and all. Another thing I did not like is that you could not upgrade your armor. You could upgrade your weapon but it did not change in looks.

Pros....
1) Graphics are excellent
2) Blood, gore, stealth kills, and "fatalities"
3) Good game play and game style

Cons....
1) Very short game
2) Not a real good story line
3) Same thing over and over
4) Upgradeable weapon but looks do not change
5) Same enemies and bosses in every level

I think Sega could have done a better job with this game. It started out as such a great game but then fell apart during level 2.

Graphics are better than 90% of the 360 games out there, with more animation than any game I have ever seen. It seems as if everything in the environment animates. The gameplay is top notch and is a mix between Fable, Devil May Cry and God Of War.

There are some RPG elements and lots of gory action. There are times when there are thousands of enemies and friendly AI on the screen at once. The enemy AI is very well done and can get very challenging.

This game is a true gem to play. Alot of fun action, mixed with light RPG elements and God Of War type button sequences during boss fights.

A great rental, an even better buy! I cant recommend this game enough.

I think Sega is gonna suprise alot of people with this title. It's wonderfully magnificent. If your a fan of any Battle RPG and you enjoy quite literally "spilling your opponents guts(and i do mean actual intestines...lol) this is an awesome title for you to try out. The enviorments are very nice as well as very smooth character and action sequences. RPG fans: your gonna remember this game for years.
