Scores
History 8: History its quite the same of any hero history however it includes some additional features which make it interesting. The game merges very well the history cinematics with game play only to give sense of game plot. Its not out of this world but its OK
Graphics 8.5: This game show beautiful graphics, very well detailed and colorful, I’m not sure but perhaps due to screen relation size characters during gameplay look like PS2 impressive graphics more than PS3 full graphic capacity. I mean its not Metal Gear but still graphics look very good.
Sound 8: Sound during game or related to scene is very good people shouting, complaining, music at some points makes this game very pleasant.

Gameplay/Moves 9: I must say so, I love this kind of games; walking and shooting or fighting against everything. Nariko as I mentioned will fight lots of bad guys at the same time and according to your ability with buttons and combo techniques you will be able to fight them all. Also the shooting feature is GREAT, Imagine you will be able to shoot an arrow and being able to control it looking in 1sr person “As movie Robin Hood” using SIAXIS feature. At the beginning this will be hard however once you have mastered it I am pretty sure you will love it!!

If I could... I wouldn’t change anything about this game its actually one of my favorites. You will spend hours playing. If I had to add something I would put some graphic cinematic effects to finish down enemies Eg. Stranglehold
