This game is visually stunning! Game play is similar to God of War, Hack and slash, but it's very fast paced. I would recomend this game if it's your kid of game style.
Absolute Blockbuster.

This games has awesome views of an enchanted place which is in peril where you play the long red haired Nariko. Other than the views the fights scene and battle challenges are well created. Its more along the lines of controlling a lifelike character when you battles and pop-up command assist your through certain attacks or counters. The music is another great feature of this game. The first person shooter controls using the SIXAXIS as Nariko's orphan friend Kai or throwing some dirt bag long distances.
First placed this game in a toy store and have been hooked ever since. Had to own it.
This game was a lot of PROS for me since I enjoy cinematographic adventures.
A must have.

If you own a PS3 this should be at the top of your list. The gameplay is fantastic! I can't believe how outstanding the graphics are also. This is just a masterpiece. I played it and could barley drag myself away from it.
I beat it in 2 days. Only took about 5-6 hours of gameplay. If you are looking for a game that will take longer to beat then you may want to consider something else like Drake's Fortune or Bladestorm. Both of which are excellent games as well.
You can change up your fighting styles to match the situation. If you get overwhelmed then you can fight in range stance to make some room forcing the enemies to back away. Speed stance to fight those pesky faster enemies not wearing a lot of armor. Or Power stance to just destroy anything in your path. If you don't believe that $60.00 is worth the 5-6 hours of gameplay you may be right. I do feel bad for you though when you go and rent the game for $8.00 then turn around and buy it for the $60.00.
get ready for a short but amazing ride

This game was gorgeous it looked it and the games play was defently way up there. The ending was not what I was expecting but it was still a great ending. Only down side is I finshed it in a week with only playing an hour or two a day. Still worth the money though.
Big fun for sword-lovers

I like this game overall. The images and intros are great. There is a lot of demos movie-like and many grphics to enjoy. Many enemies to kill and they fight smartly against you, in packs. That is a major note, since I get bored of killing foes in a mechanical fashion. This is not the case. Lot of movements and tchniques makes this game almost unique. I just miss a little tha hability to jump, magics and spells to kill more enemies when the are too many and a freer camera to enjoy the landscapes! In general it is a great game to play.

The game takes awhile to get used to especially if you are not familiar with the six axis. What helped with enjoying this game was plugging into the usb during the critical fight scenes. For some reason my axis controller is not very responsive but when plugged in it has pretty amazing control like shooting an arrow a hundred yards into an object the size of a pumpkin. It would be nice to have a jump option but after you get the combos down which is part of the fun factor in this game you'll get the visuals as part of the movement. Interesting storyline but what really got me was the controls. This is absolutely a six axis controller game. Although you can turn off that feature, it really isn't the same. Try renting it first and if your controls are tight I'm sure you'll have lots of fun.
Impressive.

This is one of the best action games made. Somehow it never gets
repetive and it's pure action all the way. Some people complain
it's too short but lot's of good games are short. A must buy.

I purchased this game for my boyfriend for the holiday. We haven't played this one yet, but I've played this game in the past. It's great! The graphics are awesome, and I love that the main character is a girl! I would recommend this game to everyone, except young kids, like 12 or under. Only because of some of the violence. Overall, this game is really fun and exciting to play.
holy freakn' smokes people!

If you don't own it. get it. what a fantastic way for sony to debut the PS3. I have NEVER been let down by the PS franchise. What a breath of fresh air. I can't think of anything to complain about. How nice to see the distance things have come in the gaming industry!
