Good, but not Great

I'll admit, I am one of the few that enjoyed this game. Sue me. Anyway, I feel as though the game didn't quite live up to it's potential. Makes me wonder what the game would have been like if it had stayed true to its original context. But I digress. The first level is fun, but won't blow you away. It's sort of a mix of Gears of War and Resident Evil. It's not until you get the glaive that the game gains its own identity. Too bad the glaive becomes too much of a focus throughout the game. It would have been nice to gain other powers as well.


Chopping people in half with the glaive is quite fun, but gets old eventually. Same with the story. It starts off interesting, but then it just goes nowhere, and plot holes are abundant. Then again, you probably wouldn't pick this up for the story anyway. Multiplayer is lacking as well. Only two modes and both of them are boring. In short, this game is fun at times but don't expect it to blow you away.
