The presentation on this game looks beautiful, and it's a fighting RPG, which, IMO we need more of.

But most of the gameplay footage shows the game to be stealth-heavy-is it?

"The Mark of Kri" is a great game, but it is certainly no rpg. It's a stealth action game that is actually very violent despite it's Disney cartoon looks. Lots of blood and pretty grim deaths. You should be able to pick it up cheap, but if your not into stealth it may not be your cup of tea.

I had it, pretty much exhausted it and sold it. Definitely fun but also comes to an end all too quickly (as I recall). Gameplay is also a little wonky with lots of slowdown (not unlike the PS2 version of Prince of Persia). This is definitely a fun game, but I feel like it is more of a (long) rental than something I'd recommend going out and buying.

Ok, well thanks for the input everyone; this definately doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

I made a video of the stealth kills for you. 8 minutes and 13 seconds captured from the begining of Stage 2. Awesomely fun stealth action there. The stage was the first to introduce the stealth gameplay, but you're not limited to just stealth attacks. Later on in the stage is a really nice larger fight between...i think 6~8 guards. I'll capture a video of that later if you want to see how the normal combat looks.
