I was just crusin through some of my PS2 games when I came across a little gem, and I just HAD to tell you fine folks about it.
Its called: The Mark of Kri, remember that, because your going to rush out and buy it. Its made by Sony.
What its about:
You play a barbarian name ROU, who stops the evil yadda yadda yadda. Its cleche, but its cool. belive me. Anway, most of the game will be spent sneaking around ( a barbarian?! WHAT?!, stay with me folks) and (here it is) bludgering the living **** out of everything. The sneaking aspect is so well done, its well on par with games like Spinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid.
And the system for bludgering the **** out of people is simply magnificant. THe method it uses to track and target multiple enemys (were talkin like 20 @ once) is awsome. always smooth, always efficient.
The greatest thing about this game, is the carnage. you can cut off any body part at its joint. top of the head, mid head, neck, wrist, arm, elbow, foot, knee, right down the center... its great!
I cannot begin to describe some of the ways you will take people out in this game, but it is truly magical. I mean it when I say, I have never seen such grouesome acts before. Its *tear* its wonderfull.
:evil:
All the while, you have a 'sprit guide' named Kuzo. Hes your bird, a big ass falcon, he follows you around and you can tell him to perch places, when he lands, you can then see what he sees and scout the terrain and the dangers ahead.
It also has the coolest art style ive ever seen, the load page to a level is that level being drawn and painted before you, then when the level is loaded (the painting finished) they fade out to the game scene, wich is identical to the painting, its really something else when you see it. The game itself looks like a dysney game, you know, mainly bulk colors and stuff. I love the style, it looks magnificant, and belive me, it may look cartoonish, but its not, the first time you swing your ax full circle and LOP off more body parts than you can count... you'll know what im talkin about :D
so, go get it NOW! Or at least rent it, do yourself a favor, its is really a diamond. unfortuanty, it didnt catch on, and the sequel has been canceled. thats what sony gets for doing almost ZERO advertising.
EDIT:
PS2 game by the way.
