Well, now seems to be the time. I grabbed it for $30.
I haven't given it much time, maybe an hour or so. So far I definitely feel like the game is secondary to everything else. Which isn't to say that anything feels bad, it just feels... dated. The game would've been more impressive from a gameplay standpoint like... 5 years ago. It's just pretty simple combat. Functional, but simple, and from what I gather you've basically seen all of it within ten minutes. I can see that getting a bit boring.
The visuals are amazing and are clearly the reason to play the game. It's a shame that the opening area is really, really lame. It's like... icy snowy something or other and it just doesn't look great. But then immediately after that you start seeing awesome stuff, and when it's awesome, it's pretty awesome. The music is great too, and the story is... interesting. I haven't seen enough to say more, but I think that's going to be a strength rather than a weakness, though it might be somewhat dependent upon familiarity with the source material.
Anyone else ever snag this?
