Now the main problems with the game are:
Outside of battle:
--The camera is fairly bad you don't have much control over it.
--The control is awful as shown in the vids. It's hard to just move straight in small areas.
--The graphics are incredibly terrible and dark. It's like Interstate 76' but worse. So it's hard to find things.
--The 8-bit text is a nice style but it's not very fun to read
--You have to run around from person to person until your objective shows up
--The cutscenes are really boring. Two unemotional characters standing and talking for minutes on end.
--The dialogue isn't any good.
--You have to keep referencing the map because the graphics are so bad it's hard to see where you are going
--The guy isn't funny
In battle:
--The camera is pretty terrible. It always stays behind you and you're always locked on to an enemy. So if you jump and you're near the enemy you will jump over them the because of the camera it looks like they just slide around. It's just really bad.
--Each enemy is like a boss fight and takes a while despite being just slash/slash/slash. After enough slashes you can do super slashing which destroys one body part then you go back to normal slashing. You have to just repeat this formula over and over until all body parts are gone and then you hit triangle to do the finisher.
--The finisher mini-games are lame and what's worse is that if you mess them up you have to watch the BLOOD DOWN THE SWORD animation EVERY TIME without being able to skip it. This is annoying if the time limits are tight and you keep messing up. Meanwhile the enemy never gets up so it's just time consuming and lame.
--O button is a context-senstive button, but most of the time it just does a lame kick. Every once and a while it does a backflip.
--When you get hit it pauses for a sec and if you time it right you can call your violin buddy in to save you from taking damage.
--Right analogue rolls around like God of War, but what's annoying is that you can't block or roll during attacks. So if you start slashing and the enemy goes for an attack, you can't cancel your slash and dodge out of the way. You just have to attack slowly and dodge every so often or take the hits.
--Battling with the guy is the same except he shoots/shoots/shoots.
Oh but you can dress Saya in different skirts/blouses/shoes and Aoyama in different shirts you find/unlock throughout the game. The menus are nice and the music is great.
