    this game is glitchy, has buggy combat, very poor voice acting, hard to follow story, mediocre graphics . the 40 dollar ticket price at release should be a dead giveaway that this is a bad game. if your getting a game at random, don't get this one, save your money... MegWhiteley wouldn't know a good game if it smacked them in the face, because mass effect 3 is amazing...

    Sitting **** sure of itself at the alluring price of 9.99 I thought to myself there was no way I could have regretted this purchase. Even the cashier told me he enjoyed it, and that is always a good sign right? Well this game blows, don't even accept it as a gift. Just turn the casing upright and smack the gift giver across the face, for they truly think you're some form of gaming scum bagSitting **** sure of itself at the alluring price of 9.99 I thought to myself there was no way I could have regretted this purchase.

Just turn the casing upright and smack the gift giver across the face, for they truly think you're some form of gaming scum bag if they thought this kind of game would be 'right up your alley'. On paper this should have worked; the you vs horde combat God of War in a tepid relationship with the time control mechanics of the Prince of Persia franchise. I admit, there were moment when this combo worked but my god just everything else fell apart around it. The combat became tiresome, the puzzles weren't puzzles just a ridiculously out of your way path that you have to reach and as a whole this game just sucked. Avoid, avoid, avoid!… Expand

    No ability to invert tge aim.. That how lazy these developers were and ir shows in every awkard confusing part of trying to play this trash. Main character is nice though, but the game is brocken.

    Better than expected - but still not that great. [Aug 2012, p.81]

    It just isn't particularly good. [Issue#84, p.86]

    Blades of Time is boring and technically horrible. A bunch of good gameplay ideas and an interesting level design are not enough for you to buy this game. If you'ld like to experience a standard action-fantasy videogame, however, maybe you should rent this product for a couple of days.
