Somehow I didn't learn practically anything about this game, and so I wasn't expecting much.
At its heart its another standard 3rd person action game with lots of brawling and light platforming, kind of like God of War or what have you.
But what sets it apart is the amount of love that's evident in the game. Each level is seriously beautiful. And it's BIG. Comes on two discs, lots of levels, lots of collectibles and replay value.
It tries to mix up the gameplay with some mount riding and massive boss battle a la Shadow of the Colossus. But its still pretty standard stuff.
So 0 / 10 for originality but 10 / 10 for design. Well worth a purchase, if its your kind of thing, there's a lot of game here.
