The Good

It's a beautiful-looking game
Core combat mechanics are great
Music and voice acting compliment the game well.

The Bad

Fixed camera creates a few problems
Some puzzles seem forced and aren't enjoyable
Just about everything in the game is derivative
Story loses focus on important characters.

Well lower than the other reviews

You can't spell IGNorant without.....oh wait!
