It's pretty fun, and compared to earlier games in the genre it has a lot of good additions (though not unique to the game from what I've seen):
* Havok physics (watching enemies get blasted into the air by a lightning bolt or fire orb is awesome)
* Night/day cycles, great shadow effects
* Your character will actually traverse mole hills instead of being forced to run around them. Sounds simple, but it's nice to actually see those sort of touches.
I started playing last fall and after taking a break to play other games, I'm having a hard time forcing myself to beat it. I dunno, it's fun, but it's just gotten old quick.
I think it was because I thought I could have more than two disciplines and was excited about trying different combos, and was feeling letdown when I realized it was just two.
It's a great buy for $16 if you haven't played it before.
On topic though, is there anyone else here who is really wanting a coupon? I'm on the fence whether I'm going to use mine, but if decide not to I'll try to send it to someone (I can PM the code via the Impulse forums or via email address) by tomorrow afternoon. No promises though.
