This is a great game, but very short and a little hard!
Anyways on to buisness, lets start with the graphics.This is a beautiful game.
the character modeling is great and so is the environments! My favorite thing about it is the fact that if u see something that might be able to kill somebody u can pick it up and throw it at them. For example, an enemy's sword. The combo attacks and things look great as well! overall the graphics are just plain great and there really isnt anything for me to complain about.
graphics: 9/10
The sounds in this game are well... okay. Some of the voice acting is good but i think some of it is horrible. For example, the main character nariko has great voice acting , but one of the bosses named flying fox (or something along the lines of that) has HORRIBLE voice acting. the sound effects and music in this game are amazing though. It really sets a tone of the gameplay and of the story, making it feel like a movie. sounds:8/10
And most importnatly, the gameplay. The gameplay is good, but can be a bit hard. it gets very irritating using the sixaxis because it is very difficult to use the innovative way of moving ur arrows after shooting them. Although its a cool idea, its WAY too hard.Playing as nariko is loads of fun though, and if u know the combo's it is amazing. My biggest complaint is the gameplay DOES get repetetive. For example, although there ARE different monsters, u get the same ones alot of the time. The bosses require great strategy and good speed/ knowledge of the combo's. The way u can use different ways for ur weapon like speed/strength/range is very cool aswell, being it one sword. This game is like the kinda game that reminds u of God of war, but done exceptionally well. 7.5/10
So overall with the decent gameplay, amazing graphics and good sounds, this game gets a 8.5/10. Great buy and fans of god of war MUST buy this!
