thanks but no thanks... this is what you'd expect when they were shoveling sh!t out for the PS2 (ex. Spawn lol). Pass pass pass pass pass. I can't wait to remove it from the xbox 360's HDD. I'm a die-hard RPG fan and to a lesser extent a fan of JRPGs, action rpgs, and so on. I'm the type of gamer that thinks back to Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II and compares every game since to how I felt while I was playing the BG series. So not graphics or tech or anything, just simply how i felt as i played through it. On that basis alone, i'd rank this a 1.

I don't put graphics as a main priority but this game is pitiful thus far. The main character's movements are all quirky and herky-jerky. It annoys me. There's a lack of all that stuff that makes a game look great like texturing, layering of textures in both foreground and background, and lighting. OMG the lighting is just.... missing? idk

    After walking past this game many times in various game stores I finally picked it up and read the description on the back, the characters looked pretty awesome and I do like unique looking RPGs. Why not I thought. I ... Read Full Review
