GAME OF THE YEAR!!..i didnt studder
yeah thats right i said it GAME OF THE YEAR..and really i dont care what you guys think, i loved this game flawed game, heres why...
i love this game looks, it is the most oddly stunningly beautiful game i have played since Prince of Perisa (the new one)..they both have that painted look which i love, and a reason why the new Prince of Persia is one of my favorite games i ever played..the environments are lush and beautiful, characters look great..even though they have the same ones show over and over
yes the camera is awful, but i only felt it was bad in boss fights, during regular fighting i thought it was fine, there are times when the camera auto-sets itself, that doesnt always work very well, most of the time it made things worse..but during regular combat i never died once, but when i fought a boss, i died tons of time, the camera totally messes up, and it happens worse during the most importent part of a level..
i did like how it tried to go from a hack and slash game to a puzzle and platformer type game..it mixed things up..some of the puzzles are kinda cheap, but almost every game has puzzles like that..
great voice work..Jackson is Jackson, when he does Ninja Ninja, but Jackson seems to try some depressive voice when doing Afro, i dont know, it just seems like its more dark and deep then when he does Ninja Ninja..which is good cause it would be weird to have both Ninja Ninja and Afro talk the same..
this game has a ton of humor in it, mainly by Ninja Ninja, and some which i think is unintentially, Ninja Ninja has some very funny lines in it, when your lost he will say "damn you've been chasing Justice for to long you forgot how to chase pussy", i lauged..the other kind of humor is from when you kill your foes, they shout things like "fuck you" or "fuck me"..which is funny to me, but i dont know if it was supposed to be funny
probably the greatest thing in this game is its music, its amazing, RZA does a great job,it really gets you pumped to do some fighting, and even the traditional Japanese music is good..
this game does not take itself seriously at all, their are things like the what your foes say, and the insain amount of blood, and a little game i like to call "Body Part Poker"..now what you do in this mini game type thing is you have to cut off legs, arms, heads to make some sort of combo, you can get all legs, arms etc, or you can mix them, and get one leg, one arm and one head..this usually happens when you face a good amount of foes..this game also keeps track of how much blood you have shed, go to the options menu, youll know its the options cause a voice will say "lookin for options"..and go to your stats..i thought that was a cool feature
i really did love this game..and i dont care that its getting trashed on so much, cause really its just all opinion
