Better than DW7 but still not best / nothing surprise or impressed, just queit good
- stage detail and object in the field is better
- emotion and feeling is better while you're playing , character got an emotional in the CG.
- AI is a liitle bit better but still not good , they're trying to counter your attack more than stand still and wait to be killed.
The Bad (still not fixed)
- attack combo is still boring, you can place only square button to slain all of enemy (even they was adding a few new thing like 4-type musou , Ex attack , Strom rush attack ... But its still boring , they should add something new like a difficult combo attack that use many button (exp.Tekken series)
- AI is still boring, nothing can challange you with enemy troop even they're coming a lot (only thing you need to do is just switch to Harder difficult), while you look at the God of War series, only single enemy can kill you if you'rr careless.
- Weapon system , i do prefer DW7's weapon system more than this one (DW8 weapon system is like Warriors Orochi 3, which is suck)
BTW still fun to play but not an epic, nothing challange , something bettter and something going down (like weapon system). Good for fans but not good for a newbie.
