Truly a trip to gaming hell!

When you're going to rip off a game at least do it properly..... Looks and initially seems like your playing god of war (which in my mind was a good thing), but the cracks appear very soon: Irritating enemy attack patterns, uninterruptable combos, poorly placed check points, hair tearingly frustrating puzzles: not usually due to clever design, but cheap deaths, poor jumping/ledge grabbing mechanics and a camera that likes to change to the worst angle at the worst moment... The start of the 'Greed' area lead to some of the worst swearing I've ever hurled at a TV... Its a real shame because the game looks awesome, it's only as offensive as the nonsense its based on, and you really get the hell like atmosphere.... Special mention must go to the cutscenes which at points are amazingly lifelike, particularly on...ahem...Beatrice. The story pulled from the ancient poem is....confusing to say the least.. but it all sounds very dramatic and that so no problems there.....shame......So yeah, anyone want to buy my copy? :)
