The Norse Gods up in Asgard would be disgusted.
the review is simple and easy to understand. i have to praise the Computer Graphic Movies as it is really well done and beautiful. it at first makes you want to play the game. but as you start the new game everything goes downhill. REPHRASE everything goes down like falling off a cliff.
this game would be much more suited to mmorpg fans and seriously not for your traditional RPG fans. lack of interesting stories, slow and tedious, getting to the other side of the world without any fast warping systems makes things even more slower. and running at some slow speed to the other side of the world. well. it is completely slow. and thanks to the draggy feeling that accompanies the terrible pace of the game, you'd feel like sleeping. and the quests as usual are really repetitive. they go by different names but most of the quest are the same. kill required number of beasts somewhere and return.
therefore i must say. this is a really bad game. in terms of storytelling, battle-systems, quests. its a broken game. total dissapointment.
