A brilliant, but tough, gem.

This game is fluid. I have never seen something like this before and I hope I will again. It has awesome moves and combos. Awesome graphics. Great, but sometimes annoying, enemies. Great story and awesome cutscenes. Memorable bosses to boot. Cool and unlockable costumes. Cool tunes that add to the atmosphere of the game. Oh yeah, I forgot to add mission mode which adds a whole lot of gameplay time and a ton of challenges on all difficulty levels.

The big major drawback in this game is the camera. It moves to slow in hectic and fast paced battles and goes all over the place at the most inconvenient of times. Also, in harder difficulties the game can be downright cheap and over the top hard. But I'm an average player and I truly suck compared to most who are good at this game. Anyways, this game is gold. It's fun and challenging at the same time. Time for me to improve on my karma scores. Get this game. Later.
