Maybe it's just me, but I don't see what the fuss is about for this game.
The Bad: Terrible controls for everything. Terrible camera. No real story. Boring and repetitive gameplay.
The Review: Well, maybe I'm just not patient enough for this type of game, since I only got through the first 2 colossi in a matter of 30 minutes, and then found myself wondering, "What is the big deal about this game!? This is boring!" I think GS gave an accurate text review of the game, but that everyone just scored it way too high. GS even admitted the controls and camera are pretty bad, but I think they sugar-coated the fact that they are REALLY bad. And that alone is enough to ruin even the best of designed games. If the camera and your character isn't doing what your commanding them to do, it sucks the fun right out.
Anyway, there is no story here, as you probably know, your goal is go to find 16 Colossi, and take them down, that's it. You have to figure out where they are, where their weak spots are, how to get to them, then stab them there until they are dead. That's it. If you know what you're doing, each boss takes only a few minutes to take down, which would calculate the length of this game at only a few hours, with no type of replay value.
The only good thing about this game is the sometimes great graphics. The character model of your hero is actually nothing specially to look. He's real blocky, like from a GTA game. However the environments, and the cinematic camera make the game look real good for the most part. And when you move the camera, it does that "motion-blur" effect thing, so everything is blurry on purpose when you're swinging the camera around, and when you stop, everything comes back into clear focus, which is kinda sweet.
Anyhow, this is one of the worst games I've ever played, and one of the only times I've ever gone against the trend and GS in my reviews, so I'm hard-pressed to recommend it for anyone. Sorry.
