Agree with other reviewers that the art, mythology and story really set this game apart as authentic. The artwork and animation are top notch. I think the combat is well made and responsive, and adds some welcome variety as the game progresses. I disagree that it needs improvement, but I used mouse and keyboard so it may be different with a game controller. Prince of Persia SoT is an apt comparison- if you liked that game, you will find much familiar here. My major complaint that it ends so soon, and story-wise ends abruptly! I can only guess that the developers are working on concluding this in the sequel. Good buy!
