Good cinematics--poor camera angle control--repetitive battle--little done to make this game stand out
However the cinematic cannot be skipped before a level is completed. This is particularly annoying because there is no saving except after the completion of a level. So if you do not finish a level when you call it quits for the day, plan on having to sit through the same cinematic the next time you play. Only after viewing the first time will you be able to skip it during this gaming session.
The fighting during the game battle suffers from a lack of camera control. Let me restate that, you cannot control the cameras at all. The auto pan does a mediocre job at best and thus has to make your co-character transparent at times to allow you to see where your character is in relation to the adversaries. A slight enhancement to allow a more sophisticated camera control would have improved this game dramtically.
The fighting in this game is quite repetitive. Very little is done to move this beyond a hack and slash fest. Due to the poor camera control it is often difficult to see where you are hacking and slashing.
I think this game is truly disappointing due to the fact that it is based on a fantastic film.
