7.0 Presentation
Intriguing premise, slick interface and a respectable amount of technical options, but the title's story lacks in presentation thanks to no FMVs or voices. And the load times can be cumbersome.
9.0 Graphics
Beautiful in most respects. Huge, sprawling environments, lots of architecture on-screen, great animation, lighting and texture effects, and more. Some occasionally blurry textures. Poor battle camera
6.0 Sound
Great sound effects and decent music. But what happened to all of the voices?
8.0 Gameplay
Fun. Feels somewhat like Zelda. Huge quest. Great weapons/items system. Lots to do and see. No lock-on camera in battles hurts. Some tedious fetch quests.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
A long, satisfying quest will keep gamers busy for a good while. But once it's done, it's done.
8.5 OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
