This game came as a surprise for me. When you start out, the graphics are very blocky and make you want to turn it off and play something else. After the first 5 minutes, though, it becomes so involving it's hard to put down your controler. The music and sound are great, and just about make up for the lack in graphics. You need a fairly good system to play, but in the modern world, that isn't much of an issue... Overall, this is a great game, and one you should buy, provided you aren't overly worried about what it looks like...
Plot:
You play as Michael, who got into a car crash. He awakens to find himself in a middle-ages monastary, and is told he is the salvation of the people in the land which the monastary lies. You soon after get a big, shiny sword, which uses the power of light to kill evil demons of darkness, and can only be weilded by their true savior: you...
Pros:
-excelent music and sound
-in-depth and engrossing gameplay
-involving storyline
Cons:
-blocky graphics
-somewhat high requirements...

after finding the demo I bought the game to see what else it had to offer answer "not much" the game has several bugs not the least of which is your main weapon will use all your energy to kill one creature "maybe" in the mean time his friends are having you for lunch. To make a bad situation worse the game is largly unsupported with no patches available and only one rather schetchy walk-thru. There are better games out there.
