For some reason I chose to read through this review without first glancing at the score. I was very surprised to see it at the end. Was expecting a 6, perhaps a 7 at a real push.

Instead of emphasizing it repeatedly throughout the review, I chose to make only 2 or 3 references to the fact that the game is quite good in nearly every way, but truly great in none. To me, that justified a 7 or an 8 and I spent quite awhile agonizing over which was more appropriate. This really was a more difficult game for me to rate than most, though Izuna 2 is now giving me similar issues (dang it!).

I love how every review for this game seems to have a "is there soul left?" joke. Seriously! I find the ridiculous cheesiness of such statements endearing. I read your "does the soul still burn" bit, and I immediately knew that this review would be full of win.

I love reviews that make me look up words like "sinewy" to find out what they mean. :)

B...but Jason, I'm doing the review for the 360 version. Or something. I thought you played the PS3 one?

You're right. It got posted under the wrong game profile. That's what I get for posting the review while tired (though I'd written it earlier). I've updated so that it now appears in the proper place, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one looking forward to your review of the Xbox 360 version.

Yep, either tonight or tomorrow should be the time for submitting. Been a hectic week, but I've gotten to proofing it now.

Good review as usual, Venter.
