A great game that deserves all the hype

When i first bought it i was skeptical, not sure if i would like it or not. But when i first started playing i was hooked. The game is not like other hack and slashers, it has much more depth. You start out with 2 blades atached to a long chain, and depending on the attack you do, the more powerful they are. They can even be extended fairly long ranges to hit enemys far away. You also get your first magic spell very shortly into the game. The Magic spells are worked into the game so well, and they are extremely easy to perform. The buttons are not confusing at all. The one thing i didnt like is theres no camera control, other than that, the game is nearly flawless. Numerous puzzles and such keep the game from getting repetitave, so the fun will always be there. Its also an average-normal length game, so you wont count on beating it in the same day you buy it. I still have more than half the game to go, but i know it will just get better.
