Pleasant surprise. Not what I was hoping for, but still nice. :)

Not my cup of tea but good to see another EA on GOG.

I own this game on disc, it's really fun and the setting is cool.
Still, seeing the rhino demon ennemies on the screenshots, I can't help but be reminded of this:

Yes, it's a shame. :(

I actually finished this on the Xbox back in the day, I liked it.
It's a shame they never made this into a series.
I also have the steelbook edition for the PC.. and I'm still tempted to get it.

Nice addition!

I am questioning the base price. If the full price is $14.99, then it is better for me to grab it on Steam for a base price of £8.99. On the sale it is a bit better here right now, but I do wonder how they managed this.

Played this one on PC, I really wanted to like it, but it was just tedious fetch-quests with awful combat. In an action game with a far-eastern setting you would expect a free combat system with cool martial arts moves, instead you are stuck on rails with the enemy you are currently targeting. It's stuck between being neither a proper console-game nor a proper PC game.

It comes to around $14.00 US, so for a dollar more you get no DRM along with all the bonuses :D

Your Steam link shows 14.99€ for me (which is more than the base price of $14.99 on GOG).

So apparently it depends quite a lot on the area whether the Steam base price is cheaper or not.

Interestingly - I think it is the first game here where the conversion is not in my favour :)

I can only speak for myself, but I'm paying with pleasure a little bit more for the great service GOG's offering. Btw. Soundtrack alone is available at Amazon for 10 Dollars, so it seems to bee a really good deal. I own the game on disc and Steam, but it feels good to have it without disc check and DRM in my GOG shelf.

I'm happy with this one, but tbh for an entire TuEAsday I've expected more then one release. ;)

Half of a very good game. I say half, as just as I was getting into it, I was railroaded to the plot and suddenly <BOOM!> The End.

Also <Insert grumble about $15 price-tag for an 8 year old game here, though it does come with a few new extras...>

Doubt I'll nab this since I already have it on Steam, but, still, great release. A lot of fun, and probably the only Chinese/Kungfu esque RPG that comes to mind outside of that one for the PSP whose name I can never remember.

Either way, this is a pretty fun Action-RPG.
