I'll start by saying this:

The game is weird as heck and kind of creepy. I've never liked anime, (and all I ever hear after South Park is "Less Fighting Love!"). So the characters, ridiculous situations, the dialog, and the obvious sexuality are just not my cup of tea. I mean, some of the trappings allow the game to go in ridiculous directions, so that's good. And I think it all makes sense in it's own weird way.

It's weird.


Very weird.



However, it might also be the best action game I've ever played. Even more so than DMC and Ninja Gaiden, I feel like an artist of death whenever engaged in a fight, which is 90% of the game. The controls, the smooth framerate (save for some slight drops every now and again), it all just works seamlessly. Whipping combos together is easy and complicated all at the same time. The dodge mechanic is well done, and adds that layer of difficulty (if you don't hit it, some sections will kill you in a few seconds). I feel like how I fight, and how someone else fights are completely different. It's just insanely interesting to chain everything together.

It really is stunning how it all blends together.

Online is tough as balls though. Both playing against people and the fights themselves. Hard.



So, if you can get past all the campy/creepy stuff, it's kind of a great game. The reviews are right, but I'm not lying, it's on the edge of weirdness and what I can tolerate.
