This is a very smooth and addicting game. The environments are beautiful, the camera is a breeze to use, and there
are some good puzzles to solve. However, this is the type of game that gets annoying as many of the tasks you perform
have to do with controlling your character. Things like walking on a narrow and twisting network of bridges where,
if you fall you die, get frusterating after the twelth time you've fallen. I don't need that crap. Just hook me up with
some good puzzles and some good weapons and let me do my thing without worrying about dying from falling off a cliff.
Nonetheless, this game is entertaining. It generally feels like Onimusha: Warlords (PS2) for the Xbox. You carry
a similar weapon, and elements are involved. For example, your weapon gains a water attribute and a fire attribute.
To open doors covered by fire, you activate your water. To make steam in order to melt ice, you combine your water and fire.
This part of the game was done well, and combined with the overall decent gameplay and incredible environments it's worth a
rental.
