From what I've seen of the game (I haven't played it personally), it looks fun but it also looks very annoying with the whole "dismemberment" thing and the fact that it seems to happen so often.

It is a matter of learning when to dodge, and to use your sword like a samurai XD.   Most enemies only have melee attacks, so you will need to use the sword with some skill (not that hard at all) and you will need to upgrade it.  Also there are upgrades that allow you to regenerate your body faster so it compensates the fact that you can get dismembered a bit easily. 

So far the dismemberment has not been an issue for me; in fact I find it funny every time some big monster rams me, and get (sometimes) splattered all over the area lol.

So far the game is really enjoyable.   It has a fun and interesting story; good graphics, innovative ideas, great gameplay; and the most important thing.....IT IS A NEW IP.   I like to support new IPs that have great ideas and have crazy gameplay; because I just hate the fact that we get an FPS every 2 months; so I want to show the game developers that other kind of games can sell.

I did this with Vanquish, Shadow of the Damned, Dead to Rights: Retribution, GOD HAND, etc.

Hopefully more people will buy the game :)

Wasn't sure as an outsider what you all were talking about, but the game looks maybe intriguing. Never Dead, right!?

kingdoms of amalur deserves what the fable series got and then some, its basically the same game but better in every way imaginable.

Yeah, and I tried it for 3-4 hours, then I decided to deinstall it again. Score is deserved, what a mess of a game.

Nice Jax review scores.
