It's a game developed by a first time studio released with little to no fan-fare; regardless of the publisher I'd say there are definite indie-sensibilities driving the design of this game.

I wouldn´t go as far as calling the game an indy game or even vrigil games an indy developer. They are still a division of thq, with benefits other developers that actually are independent wouldn´t get.

Doesn´t change the fact that the game is a great achievment though. Wink

I'd reburn. Hitachi 1.51's are meant to be able to play Wave 4's (they're the only one on that firmware that can).

Have you run the image through abgx to confirm its a working img?

I patch my games with wave 3 files. With abgx and then it is a perfect working wave 3 game

Looks very interesting but I won't have much time to play in the next weeks.

Can someone sum up how much Zelda and how much God of War this contains?

It's as if Kratos sexed Zelda up and the two had a love child; a brilliant, perfect lovechild.

I really enjoy this game, everything is so fluent, you always get a new item/ability once you feel comfortable with your current ones, there are some nice scenes that break the normal pace, like flying on a griffon shooting down enemies, or finding some big ass gun to shoot your way through hordes of enemies. Just a nice change of pace that keeps you from getting bored.

the combat is like GoW and the dungeons are like Zelda
- small puzzles
- you get an item in it to advance further, this also unlocks new paths in the "overworld" which connects them all
- each dungeon has a boss at the end
you also get some abilities in the overworld from key chars such as the ability to glide which you need to get to the first dungeon.
I read that later on you will be able to summon your horse, but I haven't reached that point yet.
The game is pretty linear. Sometimes you can take a different path to get some secret stuff and sometimes there are blocked paths you can't enter yet.

well that pretty much ruins everything for me, doesn't matter how good a game is, if the frame rate is low, its just no good and no fun to play.... IMO

good god.. its not fucking zelda or GofW its back to the roots of Legacy OF Kain : SOUL REAVER

art is the same , game mechanic is the same and even graphical detail ... but this game is lacking they engine fails on the xbox360 constant tearing = no v-sych , constant frame-rate issue on massive 20 target baddies, no AA ,it runs on the same resolution as MW2 ... but looks the same as Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver 2 and thats OUCH comparing PS2 hardware to xbox360 :/

but its fun if you play on

For those who can not get into this game because of "frame rate" issues or what have you - my heart goes out to you. It really does. Those who dug Brutal Legend and its stylized presentation (which didn't look "omg GTAIV"), or hell who like a good fun game with graphics that do not in any way take away from the experience - definitely worthy of a burn.

Ha. No kidding. Just amazed at some of the graphics complaining. I think some people remember some of these games A LOT differently than is actually true.

It's not, it looks just good, the ps2 comparison's a bit stretched. It's not mindblowing, it's good. Personally i think it looks great, unlike most games these day, it has personality.

Wow, this game even has Panzer Dragoon alike sequence. Very Happy

Really, really good game. As someone mentioned before - it's much more like Zelda meets Soul Reaver than God of War or something else.

btw The game run and looks fine for me. Lol @ ps2 comparisons.

the graphics are resonable, the art direction makes up for what it lacks in a dynamic lighting engine apart from the players charatcer shadow the lighting is very static. The gameply is pretty fluid, though there is some slow down and tearing. n terms of god of war comparisons, its certainly not in the league of GOWIII but its an above average fun game

Does anyone else have problem installing this game to HDD? I burned it on a Verbatim Dual Layer and the disc doesn't even have a single scratch on it, yet, while installing the game, it says "cannot read the disc. The disc might be scratched, please clean it using a soft cloth'

WTF? Sad

Maybe your console is banned? I think then you aren't able to install games to HDD anymore.

Installed Darksiders without problems. But i have similar issue with Bayonetta. The game got installed after 2-3 attempts. Weird, isn't it? Laughing

Errr....My console isn't banned. That's for sure. Every other games before this installed perfectly, including the most recent Bayonetta. The Xbox 360 lens dying, too, is a remote possibility, as my console is hardly 4 months old. The DVD works fine and I can play the game, but it does halt for a few seconds when a boss fight is about to start.
