You know, this is an excellent game except for the Boss levels which bring the whole down

I like the graphics, sound, challenges, puzzles very much. however I HATE boss "levels" that require you memorize specific actions attacks targets and timings and repeat adnauseum until done. They do not fit into ANY storyline nor any sense of reality (as portrayed in games). And these in this game are particularly burdensome. A right royal pain in the a...

Hmm. probably not long enough review. Do not get this game unless you are 12 year old console button mashing hero.

I've watched the saved movies on the forums and read the walkthroughs. However the timing and the way the game actually plays out is not shown in the vids on-line. And that naturally makes me even madder.

If designers need to resort to these brainless mix-and-repeat "boss levels" (read the severe scorn in that tone), then they are pathetic level designers or ran out of money. Either way, chuck them.

Rant over - don't get this game unless you want to memorize specific actions attacks targets and timings and repeat adnauseum. otherwise, nice game. I cannot give it more than a 1 because of my frustration level. So take it as you may. Flame away, you will be ignored.
