First off, the game is choppy. The gameplay graphics are OK. The cutscene graphics are Less-Than-OK. Speaking characters in cutscenes just bobble there head and look at you.
Sound. It's horrible and lacking. There's not a nicer way to put this. Really.
Environment. The game is laid out "sandbox" style but aside from landscape, there is absolutely nothing to interact with. This makes your very frequent travels across this landscape painfully dull.
What's sad is that you could see "what could've been", had they just kept this game in the oven a bit longer (at least in the graphics and sound department).
Bosses. There are no bosses to speak of. no larger than life mythological creature that you get to do battle with, like God of War or even Conan. Except for the final, final, penultimate battle. And the final boss is simply laughable. When I saw it, I nearly woke up the neighbors laughing.
The story is just, well...typical good vs. evil. I didn't really go into it expecting to be wowed. The ending sucked.
Gameplay. Say it with me (but only once, please)....."REPETITION IS NOT FUN." This game started wearing on my nerves, much like Assassin's Creed. At least Assassin's Creed was pretty and had an interesting story.
So yeah. Don't buy it, don't rent it, don't borrow it. Don't give SEGA any excuse to keep pumping out sub-par games.
