Brilliant game coupled with a beautiful art style and graphics. Calling the combat system shallow is extremely ignorant.
The story is also very intriguing. If you play with both characters at the same time (alternating between one and the other) the tale comes together like a puzzle, and it feels most satisfying. That said, the original subtitled voice acting adds even greater power to the storytelling.
Anyone that says the game feels "repetitive" has clearly never played the hardest difficulty mode. There are two modes of play: "Muso" and "Shura". Muso is the Normal mode - it is rather simple and most regular opponents will go down in a few blows (as described by the GameSpot reviewer) but in Shura mode, every battle is as exciting as ever: you need to dodge, block, look for openings to attack and think before you act. To call this game's combat system "repetitive" and "shallow" is quite ignorant.
Most definetly one of the Wii's great masterpieces.
