Thanks! I agree, this looks like a lot of fun. I'm struggling with Warrior Within at the moment and totally gave it up because it's unplayable with keyboard and mouse (inverting doesn't work, like most of the game. Buggy crap). So I'm looking forward to this. Not too keen on the cell shading and I honestly find the look of the Prince a little too anime-ish. Oh well, as long as it's fun…

gameplay looks rad, visuals look fantastic... but as ever the voice acting makes me die a little inside... also, whats the betting that the girl has to die at the end to return life to the garden place?

I really like how Ubisoft deals with dying right now, SoT series you had the sands, and now elika helps you etc. I'm looking forward to play this tile since i absolutely loved the earlyer 3

I do agree the voice-acting is a little out of place. He doesn't sound like a prince at all; he comes off as more like a typical wisecracker. Maybe that's what Ubisoft wants but it doesn't seem right.

The gameplay and visuals are awesome.

It looks fantastic. Beyond fantastic perhaps.

Unfortunately on non art gaming boards people seem to be all over the map on it. One person even said it was ripping off Okami (which is a beautiful game in its own right, but stylistically far different from this).

Its more french comics ala Moebius than it is anime.

Good stuff always been one of my fav's. I hope they make it a little less linear so theres a bit more replay value in it.

**Carnifex** · August 29th, 2008

admittedly,though it looks good,it reminds me quite abit of zelda ("return light to the world") and assassin's creed (climbing the walls like that). i guess it can't be entirely avoided though.

**Nrx** · August 29th, 2008

Im not getting what the rest of you guys are i guess, and that voice acting and script is just horrible.

**Chingwa** · August 29th, 2008

Yeah the script is absolutely terrible... the voice acting itself sounds good (even though the male actor seems like a poor choice) but the words they are given to say are just totally inappropiate. Whatever happened to creating a mood in a game??? you can't build mood with visuals alone. And why fight the badguy once, only to have to fight him again? Weird. by looking at this trailer, the game would be way better if the actors didn't say anything! (and if he bled a little when cut with a 3 bladed knife... O_o )

Ditto... The first half anyway. I still need to play braid.

I don't like it. I guess they took the comments about past sequels trying to hard to be edgy to heart. Now it looks like they're trying to hard to turn it into an epic colorful magical "adventure" or something. They took the God of War out of it and replaced it with Final Fantasy. I don't like it one bit.
