THE GOOD:great graphics
time control
sword upgrades
good storyline
great athletic skills
it's a game that actually gets harder once you get new weapons...
and of course realistic damage and sparks
THE BAD:
Sidekick with bad aim
sidekick...
have to retrieve sand from enemies... basically if they're on the floor they'll get back up...
fighting engine is too repetitive
enemies look the same
some puzzles will make you throw down the controller and make you wnt to throw the console out of the window and break down and cry...
SUMMARY:
this is a very good game as you get to controll tome and run up and along walls... but if you dont like games where you have a sidekick who cant defend themselves... dont even bother to get this game... and dont forget to search for secret areas. as they have things like a higher health bar or a sand cloud...
