A decent game, but not great
I am only 1 hour into the game so I will keep this short and sweet. My opinion my change, but I felt that a review needed to be posted.
Beowulf has a great story behind it. The environments look great and the voice acting is excellent. Beyond that my experience so far has been mediocre. I am left wanting more with some of the character graphics and the controls have been a bit tricky. I am referring to the responsiveness and not the configuration. I think I am hitting the right buttons, but the game thinks otherwise. It is hard to rate the difficulty of this game. The game play for the most part is fairly easy, but due to the responsiveness issues certain tasks are tedious and difficult to complete. Maybe it's just me or my controller.
In comparison with the superior quality of games for the PS3, such as Heavenly Sword (referring to graphics and controls, not game length) , this game looks really good, but doesn't quite make there. I would say this game is best described as another God of War clone with a few new tricks and not quite as responsive. If you like the story of Beowulf, or the movie coming out this week this game should be worth playing. I'd suggest renting it before making the leap to drop the cash needed to buy it.
