the game is very good with cool moves and very nice graphics and sound. i don't understand why in many sites the overall score is lower than 70%.

HX, the gfx and playability lines are identical.

Well as far as I was concerned, the game was great but overall wayyyyy tooooo shoooooort. Had great gfx, finished this game in a few nights and I think I played at normal skill level and really owned. I don't even think I came close to dying, lmao, sure I did a few times. I think the score is justified.

To further elaborate, the inventory system sucked and MP is still extremely unbalanced. If there were no mages in MP it would be more fun for me. Perhaps a mod..? Hope so. I expected more and longer quests and more creatures. The bosses or the big dudes. Each one, if you were dumb you took em on head on, however if you were smart you could easily trap the big guy and finish him off with arrows if you wanted and he couldn't touch you. I thought that was just bad. If the environment was more destructable it would have made for much cooler things. Remember once the guy picks up the rock and moves it?? That was the 'only' time they had worthwhile AI.

Good quality release overall... 8/10 I give it. Just don't think you'll be playing for a month. Try a weekend and a bit. I was entertained and look forward to the next installment.

Fantastic game! I am yet to finish it though >_>

How about a bug that kills the game every time you try and load the very last area.
