At first I was a little skeptical...but after 10 minutes or so I was really getting into the game. The gameplay is very smooth and intuitive. The story is pretty good and keeps one interested in progressing. After playing for 45 minutes I was really enjoying playing this game. Now I guess there are items you have to buy to attach to your controller to unlock certain weapons and features, optional, but can make the game harder and a bit frustrating I heard in a game review video from gamespot. That aside I am enjoying this game very much. The graphics are pretty good, the story is solid and the gameplay is interesting using different elemental weapons to defeat enemies and complete goals. I am not even 2 hours into the game and am glad I purchased it!
