Ok...I have to say this game was terrible...People are saying it's a knockoff of God Of War, or DMC, but it's not even good enough to be a knock off...I don't know about everyone else, but it was terrible for me...I hated everything about it. It looked "ok" in the trailers, but once I played it, I was extremely disappointed from the very start of the game...I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this.

The game, like others have said, feels like a DMC knock-off - like DMC on goofballs, to me. That said, DMC did it much better.
I did like the art in the game but it felt about 10 years too late arriving to consoles. And while I didn't have a problem with the controls, they do feel a bit odd and the camera doesn't do much to help with the action.
It's definitely not the worst game I've ever played but another game that's made me thankful I have a Gamefly membership. Give it a shot if you're not looking for anything too serious, perhaps you'll find something to like.

How does one really describe a game this bad? The control scheme is terrible, the graphics are subpar at best, I played it for the first few minutes and thought I was playing a really, really, really bad knock-off of devil may cry or ninja gaiden. I don't really even know why I had higher hopes for this game.
