What this review forgets to mention are all of the glaring flaws in this title.
Inventory system is practically non-existent. Be prepared to navigate menu after menu just to get to your health items or weapons.
There is no item comparisons. The only difference in weapons is look and price. A higher priced weapon means it's better but there's no way to know "how much better" it is compared to your current weapon.
Poor modeling and animation. While most of the animation in this game is good. The violence in this "M" rated game is the worst I have seen. I don't expect it to be God of War but when you decapitate an enemy the developers didn't actually model a decapitated head. What they did was simply detach the original head from the enemy character model roll it around. The neck fans out at the bottom like a Halloween mask and the user is able to look inside the neck hole and see that the head is hollow. Very cheap and lazy.
I'm sorry but the fact that this review didn't even mention even a handful of the flaws in this game is just ridiculous. Below is a review (not by me) that is definitely more informative and honest. Or maybe just not bought and paid for by Lionhead studios. If you want an honest review of a game I would suggest you go onto one of those sites that compiles all of the reviews from critics, pick the lowest score you can find and then go with that one.
While I completely understand that it is nearly impossible to separate the, sometimes, close relationship between game makers and the critics that review them. This article is more of an advertisement than a review and that is unacceptable for consumers that trust these people to review games with an unbiased and objective opinion. After all they didn't have to sell out $49.99 for the game.
