The Gamespy review sounds like they are reviewing Rune, not Blade. I totally disagree with them saying the game is simple-minded and not tactical. Every monster-type needs a different tactic to beat and each character handles fights slightly different. I just beat the game the other day with Sargon, and it sounds like those guys barely even got a few levels into it -- and the whole time they were probably just weedwacking the orcs and constantly loading everytime they got their heads lopped for playing like morons.
AND HOW THE FUCK IS THE GUY GOING TO SAY THAT BLADE SKIMPS ON CONTENT???? It has an absolute FUCKLOAD of maps, totally unique environments, weapons, monster-types. I mean jesus, I can only imagine how hypocrital their review of Rune which makes you spend the two dozen hours or so in ugly-ass Hel, killing the same monster 301023891238190 times. All the reviews I've read so far just go on and ON and ON about the lighting effects. Jesus Christ. They don't even mention that the level design is great, and at times, breath-takingly beautiful.
Blade is easily the best fantasy melee combat game ever made, imo. (and yes, I do mean it blows Die by the Sword out of the water)http://www.shacknews.com/funk.y?id=899562 for why I think that. Alot of the reviews say the game has no story, and that just pisses me off. It has no less story than any other goddamn action game on the market (barring 1 or 2 exceptions that have dialogue trees), and it plays out like an epic flick. Seems people are really looking a gift horse in the mouth, but whatever.
