It was on sale for $5 on XBLA so I couldn't pass it up. Never played the game before so this is my impressions for the game as a whole. Well, not "impressions", I actually beat the game a couple of hours ago.
So thoughts...
So thoughts...
- Really great mixing. Story was great, environment was great, combat was good, puzzles were good, stealth was good, levels were good. It was all very well mixed and varied.
- It's too fucking short. Seriously, I got the game on Wednesday and I beat it today. That's between watching Arrested Development, working, and school. Plus I took the time to do most of the side stuff (did all the races, looter's caverns, a few minigames, etc). It probably takes like forever to get every pearl and Mdisk and stuff but the game can be beat in less than a weekend.
- I can't wait for BG&E2. I've held myself off from watching all the info on BG&E2 until I finished the first game but now that I did (and watched some of the most awesome demo footage ever), the sequel looks amazing. Plus Ubisoft and Ancel don't disappoint. If Ancel wants a good game, he'll make a fucking good game.
- Last boss is goddamn impossible. Well, he was a cakewalk until he completely monkeywrenches your controls. Then I was raging through like ten tries until I beat him.
