I got this on ps2...dunno if it made it to any other formats...
But, holy fuck what a KICKMUTHAFUCKIN'ASS game!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It works a little like the LOTR games in terms of battle sequences but IMO a shitload better...you're not completely innundated with enemies, so you can clearly see what's going on, but there's no shortage either.
The storyline is quite decent so far, graphically it's excellent, the scenery (at least for the first stage) "feels" very real, and the music and ambient sound is allllll good.
The bosses? Not stupid...there's ways to beat them that you have to figure out, not complex...but there's more to it than just hacking away at them, just how I like it, the first major battle with the hydra is fucking intense.
The combat in general is gonna be a treat for anyone who likes a real chunky fight...there are SO many different things you can do while fighting, bodyslams, grabs and throws, and ripping people in half never gets old. This game is bloody and viscious....so, so, so, so, so good.
I would reccomend this to anyone that's after a good, solid action title.
I agree with this post I made forever ago.
Haven't played the second one yet.
My one problem with the first one was the swimming scenes...but then, I never like swimming scenes in games really.
Remains one of the best action games I've ever played, and I look foward to the sequel, but I'm not paying what they're charging for it right now.
