You should brace up for a hybrid of GoW, 300(the PSP game) and Demon's Soul kinda game... The over-all atmosphere is immersive albeit it looks cartoonish for the most part. The characters were sort of stripped of "grim-ness" maybe to appeal more to younger audiences and add a lightened ambience in the otherwise brutal gameplay. Speaking of that, the controls are easy to learn and combos do not take a while to learn. That makes this game very engaging and entertaining (so far)...HACK and SLASH is the key element in the gameplay (button mashing,eh?). So that means this aspect of the game makes up for the slightly disappointing graphics element as I mentioned above. Sound is also great but otherwise generic, action-type. Now, in terms of cut-scenes, it's like watching an animated fantasy-action-religious movie at the same time as the whole story is somewhat based on the Bible's last book, the Revelation (Apocalypse). Being the first of the Horseman, WAR, you embark on a war for your own salvation of existence after being fooled into starting the final battle. Where this game will take my character? Can't wait to see... It's amazing how a great game like this would be deprived of the hype (reminds me of Demon's Soul) like the one bestowed on CoDMW4 or AC2. Hope experiences like mine would drive sales of this beautiful game.

Seems like any hack and slash game nowadays gets tagged as a God of War rip off. Although I am a big fan of GOW this game does standalone. Yes it does have familiar game physics as some other games but its an action adventure video game. Of course it will be similar in some ways. What makes it much different and unique is the story and the landscape. Its very magical and full of wild enemies. You control War. One of the four horseman wrongly called back for the Apocalypse of earth. You are set on finding who did this. You will encounter the craziest enemies and collect great weapons. There are puzzles that you need to complete in order to move on to your next area. Some may seems impossible but you will eventually find the answer. The graphics are nice but a tad bit choppy at time. So small that I probably shouldn't even mentioned it. Graphically that is my only issue. However I do wish there was a little bit more of a heavier feel to War. For a gigantic beastly horseman from the beginning of time he's a little too light on his feet. Overall the combat is great. You can upgrade your weapons and magic. You will encounter wild situations and you will be immersed in the storyline. I would have liked to have given this a 5 but I feel with the small graphical issue it deserves a 4. They actually made a great game and I wish that could have been avoided. Still I say buy this game.
