A big step in the series with a catching story and innovative gameplay although it wasn't as great as I though it'd be.
Gameplay: Fairly long game 10-15 hours. The cut scenes get in the way alot and you're really not playing as much as you'd think. The boss battles were sometimes frustrating, and you backtrack alot through the game, having to fight the same enemies in the same areas so that tends to get irritating.
Graphics: The graphics were definetely impressive and stunning. Your hair blowing in the wind, the cool cut scenes, and everything else was well done and entertaining.
Sound: Also good. Didn't really notice anything bad.
Value: Once you beat the game you'll probably want to beat it again later so the value is good.
Overall it's a great game with good graphics, sound, and value, although the gameplay was a bit disappointing and the story didn't catch me as the others did. Nevertheless an awesome game.
