Lots of the old, same and new wraped in a next gen bow.

Good - The Updating of graphics to somewhat match the 360. It reminds me a heck of a lot of WoW. Huge shoulders, over the top animations and effects. Simple enough game play to step in on but hard to master. The controls are the same so older gamers will associate with previous incarnations of moves. The Xbox360 controler does have limitations and once I actually sat down and devoted some time to get it, i got it enough to use in a match. It’s a learning curve.

The bad – The computer being cheap is still there. The multiple charge moves as rich mentioned are very evident and still there. Also this is a slight reflection on a good so it’s NOT that bad. Ok? Ready? It’s not super crisp graphically like Gears is/was. Everyone’s eye is different and in my opinion it’s fine but the more picky people, like the ones who severely dislike WoW’s graphics, will probably not like ST4.

The Ugly – 2nd round of seth + Cheap computer moves will make you want to scream.
