Legendary - PS3 Game (Retro Fam)

Great story, great character design, great animation, good gameplay, OK graphics - that sums up this game. You play as Charles Deckard, an unlikely hero. The story starts with the Deckard opening Pandora's box unwittingly. Mythical creatures are unleashed into the world creating pandemonium - gryphons, firedrakes, werewolves, golems to name a few. Your mission is to save the world and you get to kill these creatures in the process. You get a signet engraved on your hand when you opened the box and this serves as your source of power through the game. You can use the signet to acquire animus which can be used to restore health and also to do certain attacks. This also means there is no health packs to pickup as is typical for FPS. Instead you pickup the animus that is left behind from fallen creatures. The character design and animation is exceptional. I don't like the fact that cutscenes are not skippable. The game gets saved on a checkpoint basis - not bad if you don't die much. The music is top class, but not everyone might like it. Subtle touches like people rescuing others and subway trains whizzing past you only to crash ahead are pretty good.Overall a great game and a great bargain especially for the price it sells for now. Buy it!!
