Review by Alex on 7th April, 2009
4 stars "Well done..."
wow, this game was pretty awesome, sure the camera needs a lil work and scenes need a skip function, but overall it was insane!
The cutting mechanism and grapic style are truly amazing and all the bosses are beatable if you think about it and persist :D

The context sensitve platforming feature is a bit annoying, it would be cooler if you could run up any wall, and in combat you can never quite tell whether your attacks have landed or not, enimies seem to jump and dodge without any real evasion of your weapons however i highly recommend this game!

2 stars "hugely flawed but looks amazing"
This looks and sounds incredible, but prepare to be controller- breakingly frustrated by a reverse x axis control scheme, which inexplicably, you cant change, random but vast leaps in difficultly and cut scenes which you cant skip- great the first time, but by the time the ninja teddy bear has beaten you for the 50th time, mind numbingly annoying.

Finally a combo system that doesnt really add anything to the combat more than random button mashing and this is a massived missed opportunity. With good voice acting.

5 stars "Stylish"
I read a review of this game on IGN, the guy gave it a 6 out of 10 and complained about crappy camera control and bosses that kill you with cheap moves. He's either completely lying or has never played a game in his life.

The camera control is fine, I've had no gimp out or anything. The bosses are hard yeah, but not cheap. You can easily find a way around their crazy maneuvers.

The dynamic cutting system is AMAZING. And the added body-part poker is a nice mini game to give extra points for slicing opponents into pieces.

The music by the RZA is awesome and changes tempo depending on what you're doing. The first time you go into Over-Focus you'll know what I mean.

All in all, don't listen to ANYONE who says this game is crap. It's funky, stylish and SO SO violent. =D
