Advantages: Nicley drawn

Disadvantages: ...but that's about all it has going for it!

I really can't see what people like about this game. Graphically it's pretty. The stylised cell shaded characters are nicely drawn and animated and the back-drops never fail to impress. If you saw nothing but stills from the game you'd probably be quite looking forward to playing on it. But that's where things take a turn for the worse.

The wall-running idea sounds great, but in practise it's really not that difficult or challenging to pull off. Each move looks really nice but pretty soon you'll find that you've seen it all and it just gets really 'samey'. The plot runs along quite nicely but combat often seems like a pointless exercise in stabbing at the controller. 'Boss' creatures take more hits to kill, but that's about the extent of it.

In summary we have a fairly nice looking game which, ultimately, fails to deliver on the most important factor - playability. Spend your money elsewhere. Honestly.

Summary: Look elsewhere for more playable games
