Too simple and stripped down to bother with imo.

Either the videos of this that have been released are unrepresentative or this preview was looking at a different game, as in the video previews the graphics have looked shocking. They haven't even looked as good as PS2 God of Wars games, so to say that this game is stacking up well against the current generation graphically must mean there have been some serious improvements.

Got to agree with Caetlan. The recent videos have all looked really, really bad. Shockingly so.

hmmm. it just doesn't seem very good at all. I can't tell how much of it is rpg and how much of it is hacking away for an infinity.
A shame really as you could make a great game from that material..

Does it have same screen co-op tho - surely thats a no-brainer for a hackandslash rpg? Otherwise, no sale, as no ability to get gf involved...

looks ok to me. nothing special but if i can pick it up for £30 then it should help quench my thirst for some mythilogical monster killing!!

p.s. roll on God of War 3

I am quite intrigued by a bit o greek mythology also, but not enough to buy it when games like Fable II and Fallout 3 are being released literally weeks before. I'll get it when its cheap

Judging by the ship, I assume that Hephaestus will be there as well?

I think what we all want to know is: Will there be a sagging suspension bridge?

Indeed. This has been on my radar for a loong time as a non-brown FPS or racer and I'll be mightily pissed off if it turns out to be shit.

it all sounds very jade empire, which was disappointing but worthwhile.

Yer man on the front page pic for this article looks suspiciously like Guildenstern from Vagrant Story.

one of those flashy action games that are best bought when the price goes down a few months after release
