Hi!
So I've got my hands on the game early and been playing like mad. First thing I did was beat Drake's "story" xD.
It provided me with a chuckle, but it really was rather "weak" as in.. there are a bunch of pictures and a dialogue to go with it that somehow justifies Drake fighting a bunch of other dudes until you meet your rival Sly, in which they interact for a very short while. After that, its the boss fight which I wont spoil and it was okay-cool and then another bunch of pictures and a dialogue to end it off. Basically theres not much actual you know.. cutscenes and stuff but yeah, maybe if this game does really well (which im sceptical too sadly) it could get a All Stars 2 with CGI AND SHIT! xD
But my god is the actual combat fun as hell! Nariko is by FAR my favourite right now. Holy hell, I am inlove with the combo-heavy dudes like Nariko, Kratos, Raiden & Dante. The online hasnt been activated yet, I am betting the servers arent online as the game releases on Wednesday in EU atleast. Same for the Vita version in which you get a "Disc Bonuses" or something, along with the game. I believe you have to plug in your vita and get the game over to it. Really sweet.
After about 6-7 hours of gameplay, mostly 1v1 with my friend, Drake's story beat and almost beaten Kratos and fighting the AI a bit => If I was to like.. grade between 1-10 where 10 is uber fucking awesome, I'd give it an 8. But with that said, I am a huuge fan of some of these characters so I imagine the actual reviews being lower, as in 7's & 6's even. (Basically I predict a meta of like ...75 possibly).
ANYHOW: I am really having fun and if you have any questions regarding the game, let me know. Like I said, I cant play online due to the code not working. Thanks for reading :]
