I've just finished the game myself.. the game is a bit all over the place imho. doesn't do hack&slash very well, doesn't do RTS very well either...

You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger Tim Schafer fan than me, and the game absolutely nails style, humor, and presentation, but....

The gameplay is assertively mediocre, and there are massive graphical glitches such as pop-in and slow-down throughout. Unless this game has changed massively from the demo, it's not higher than a low 8, and even then only cause of the awesome presentation.

When I played the demo, it was too much ' swing one's axe / now loading / cut scene / now loading / play guitar / now loading / cutscene / now loading.

Action is butchered between too many cutscenes

That was probably because it was the very beginning of the game so they had to set up what was going on in the story.

The game is story driven, you kind of have to expect many cutscenes in the beginning portion. Don't worry though, even the Xenosaga games lessened the amount of cutscenes after the first few hours.

sounds a lot like metroid with the axe replaced with a plasma cannon.

Not at all. Still ever-present
