    It's the most surprising, and visionary, action-adventure game of the summer. [Fall 2002, p.145]

    A visceral celebration of action and all that is good about hacking the bejesus out of someone - in style. [August 2002, p.76]

    It's the best beat-'em-up on the system.

    The combat system, storyline, music and effects are too good to be ruined by one bad level. It is a shame, however, to see a game that spends 90% of the whole experience building up stealth and a kick ass combat system only to watch it all fall apart in very basic, repetitive final confrontations.

    It has some great fighting elements as well as some of the elements from the Thief series and finally some adventure elements. Add that to a pretty good graphics engine and sound, and you have yourself a darn good game.

    One of the most original titles ever crafted...But the title misses the mark by a tad.

    I feel greatly disappointed by the lack of polish that could have made it a killer title. [August 2002, p.108]

    From the little i saw of the game it was awesome. I am very disappointed though, it is rated "M". That is sooooooo stupid. The little From the little i saw of the game it was awesome. I am very disappointed though, it is rated "M". That is sooooooo stupid. The little violence there is is little specks of blood on the ground, and on his swords. Granted, some of the moves seem like they are gory, like stikin' the sword through the guy on the ground, or impaling a guy to a wall, etc. But I've seen worse. And it is a great game. I'd recomend it to all action/adventure gamers! Go check out the movies to it at Gamespot.… Expand

    This is a good game except for the fact that it is extremely short.

Un "beat'em all" qui sent le poisson avec ses voix atroces, son monde générique et insipide visant essentiellement un jeune public facilement impressionnable et sans aucune exigence.… Expand
