The game is good, but needs more than one playthrough with a guide to be worth the money if not on sale. A lot of the game's content is locked behind a secret 2nd path.
Cool art style, neat cutscenes. Can't say a whole lot of good about the gamplay. Combat is ok, but the exploration is terrible. Half the time you can't tell where you need to go. It's way too easy to accidentally progress the main line without fully exploring the area. Camera is obnoxious and doesn't let you see where you need to go. It just wasn't any fun at any stage.
