Some folks may complain about the length of the cut scenes (which are skippable). If neither of those things bother you, I'd say it's the best on-rails shooter since... I don't know what. I'm embarrassed to admit that I even got into the excessively cheesy story. I see this game rotting in the bargain bin all the time for $10-$15. A steal at that price.
I believe some members here mentioned bugs and stuff but it didn't sound bad. Definitely one I'll look for in a while.

God of Wars = Muscle Manly Action, Bayonetta = girly stuff, sheesh

I'll go buy that sometime though, it does sound pretty interesting. It's good to hear it sold some copies, though it could've done better. GoW had a pretty damn huge budget, tens of millions of dollars lol

Yeah, I also encountered a bug or two. If I recall, both of them happened at the beginning of the same stage... So restarting the stage wasn't a big deal. Mildly frustrating at best. Certainly nothing that would make the game unplayable.

people bought the game for the Halo 3 Beta but the game is goddamn awesome. Think it has gotten some recognition afterwards as reviewers and podcasters? give it some praise in the afteryears.
Agreed. I just started a new game on this after watching the trailer for the second one, which is looking pretty awesome.
Feedback will set you free.
