A Lesson In "Meh"

i'm not going to stand on a soapbox on this one, i have to be honest i didn't have the highest hopes in the world for this one. I thought the english version of the show was one of the worst dubs ever with the exception of ron pearlman as "justice". let me just get to the pros and cons.

PRO: THE SOUNDTRACK
The music was so on point for this game second only to samuari champloo.

CON: BOSS FIGHTS
They simply had nothing to them the fights had no emotion behind them and hit detection is awful.

PRO: ENEMY COMBAT
While the types of enemies didn't vary too much the basic enemy combat and "body part poker" was fun and gory.

CON: CAMERA
The camera was so out of place sometimes you start to wonder how they playtested it.

PRO: CONTROL
The combat gives you tons of combos to choose from but you dont even need them.

CON: RPG STYLE STAT TRACKING
This was so pointless. unless you figured out to click in both thumbsticks for these stats you didn't know what was going on until you leveled up.

FINAL VERDICT: 6.5
Like games such as battlefield: bad company and army of two, this game is a ton of good ideas that aren't executed properly and the end result is a game that plays and feels broken. it's not a bad game but not worth more than $30 of your money.

as always
peace, love & frag!
