Full review
This game is one of the most fun experiences i have had in a long time, it is a great title, with a fairly good storyline and the idea and ability of using a controller to wield guns and swords is amazingly kool.

The moving around is slightly buggy with sometimes the character halting during gameplay and you needing to pause and unpause or the character to take a while to resond to the change of direction although this happens rarely.

The way the guns are wielded and can be slanted, aimed precisely and etc. is amazing. The details are nothing to sneer at and yet they could be improved.

This game's main features are it's fully interactive, and you play a part in the game with the wireless controllers immersing you.

The problems are the camera angle cannot be changed. you must always see the back of your persons head and flick the whole character round to see which can be very dissapointing at times.

Also, The game has 3 "stories" but in total, the game is completely in under 10 hours gameplay which compared to other games of this style is not much.

Overall, a game worth buying if you see it around and multiplayer is great fun as long as you have the controllers and take care not to knock each other out, haha.
