Totaly wicked!!!
Everyone though Prince of Persia was too soft, this game is it.
The first thing you notice is the graphics, the graphics are one of the best for the PS2.
After that... the game starts and you begin your fighting, right after a short FMV the violence begins. You have somesort of swordlike whip as a weapon, these exandable swords do much damage and the nice red glow is a really nice show. After the first battle you learn about button combos and after that you learn about how minigame combo works in the game. A minigame combo is something that can be done when a large enemy has a low HP, it shows when you can activate the minigame when the O is shown above the enemy, after you push the O a button combo is needed to complete the minigame, you see an alternate enemy kill ending. The game has much of these endings.
After a fair introduction a real battle starts and the game storyline is unfolding. I wont say too much about the story cause its a spoiler.
With each battle the music is pure intense, you really have the feeling that everything must be killed, even fellow humans are not safe than.
The music is really good, the music fits the theme, the mythical greek setting and the music are one.
One thing that i didnt really like was the camera, the camara wasnt always that good, it was fixed and couldnt turn 360.
Summary: Great graphics, great storyline, great music, great exp. system, and really nice levels.
!!! be aware that you dont play this game in easy, it is too easy in easy !!!
