Watching over people play games is never particularly interesting, the same comments have been thrown at Knack... I try not to watch too many gameplay videos as i find it better to experience it for myself.
But the combat does look (and i haven't played it)... boring. Go from one simple battle to the next.. enemies just sitting there waiting to be attacked. I would hope there are more weapons than just a sword/shield/spear... a good number of weapons does give you more design options/interesting things.
But i think my biggest issue with it from the videos is the slow motion death kills.... it just seems like there are too many of them. Many games that use this technique did it on the last baddy only in an area so that it doesn't grate too much or break up the action.
Also is it me or does that video look very dark.. it looks not bad, but not amazing?
Anyway, as long as people who buy it enjoy it thats all that matters.
