    Fun Game with some issues

    I played this game all the way through and can say it is fun and it continues or expands the stiry line, but it has a few issues. The game has moments where enemy characters remain in a walking in place mode. There also were 3 individual times where I could not save my progress. Luckily you can go back to a previously saved game and just play over that portion of the level. I also did not like that I had to set up some type of an account with NACON before I could start playing the game. The game also seems to skip over the bad language parts with frequency. I'm not sure if setting up that NACON account had any part to play in this but it seems that I played an edited version of this game as far as the language goes. I am an adult over 21 years of age and while I understand that this could be a safety measure for children, it should be up to me to decide how I want to play (Edited or Not). Other aspects were more of my personal preference such as the characters voice in comparison to the previous game. I personally like the previous game because to me it had more charm and Styx was really funny in the cut scenes. These issues are minor and should not stop anyone from enjoying this game. I just firmly believe that if the game already has an appropriate rating label such as this one (Rated M for Mature) then there should not be any other language or editing filters in the game. Overall, it is a fun game to play and I liked the options in how you want to equip Styx. I liked the progress saving feature which allowed many times for me to start exactly in an area where I failed. In this game Styx was a little more aggressive in his take downs which I liked because it added more realism in his movements and game mechanics if you will. So, yes play it for fun but don't expect perfection. If you played the previous game then you have to play this one and ignored the minor flaws.
