Just picked it up for 15 bucks, beautiful visuals, fun gameplay. Sad to see it didn't do as well as it should have. I love freeing my dudes !!! I get all happy when I break them out of their jails lol.

Yea me too, but I did find that after doin the first and second island I got really bored. It seems like the same liberate guys, kill Legion and sneak into big camp and or castle and then fight a battle, rinse and repeat. Maybe if I take a break i'll be interested again but who knows.

If you ever need anything, you can always ask.... someone else!

I rent from Gamefly and they give you coupons for used game purchases, so after five dollars off I got this game for seven bucks with free shipping of course.  Man, I love that service....great renting for games and then used prices when they are available.

I'm on the second island and I could see how the game could get repetitious but for seven bucks you can't go wrong.

I just started playing the game myself and i can see the repetition maybe getting to me like assassins creed but so far it's pretty fun. I'm liking the 'lord of the rings' look, the combat is slower and less nimble then say a GoW or Ninga gaiden but it's brutal, visceral and fun.  

Major problems i have with it are small kind of game design things that are puzzling.

For example, there is little sound reward/feed back, like when i open a chest there's just a little creak and a amount of gold silently appears in the corner of the screen.

I don't mean that i want a "DA NA NA NAAA!!!" and my dude to hold a money bag up in the camera's face. but something to tell me that i got something and just didn't open an empty chest. That and other music ques that seem strangely absent which i have gotten use to in so many other games.

A lot of the rapid button press seem unnecessary, "want to teleport? great! it's instantaneous with no loading but first mash the B button 10 times"...What? why ?
