Die by the Sword had a revolutionary idea when it came out all those years ago.
And it is neat to think that this was a precursor to things like motion control, but the execution of this sword play mechanic is sloppy and does not work well at all.
I would love to see treyarch make another version of this game.
But sword play fans should look to Blade of Darkness(Severance) from Codemasters instead.
