8.2
+ Best motion capture cut scenes in a game
+ Some very nice animations and graphics
+ Huge number of enemies on screen at any given time
+ Solid if simple story
+ One of the few times where I felt the Sixaxis actually worked
+ Very good voice acting: has the girl from Fringe as Nariko and Gollum as the main bad guy :P
- Very little enemy variation
- Waaaay too short and no real incentive to play through a second time
- Final boss fight is a steep and annoying jump in difficulty
- Plays a bit TOO much like a toned down God of War
