Repetitive and tedious gameplay, yet the animations themselves are so fluid and varied that the movement / combat mechanics rarely become boring even if the tasks the game asks you to do are mind numbing.

The story is quite awful simply due to the often horrendous voice acting that has the depth and nuance of a school play, but nevertheless it’s entertaining in how over dramatic it is. The choice system is cool in concept, but in execution it’s totally binary with no meaningful reactions from the story or other NPCs which would’ve given the choices thematic weight (although being so poorly thought out leads to utter hilarity when making the evil decisions). Four slightly altered endings isn’t enough to inspire multiple playthroughs although I did grow up with this game so I have some nostalgia for it at the end of the day.

The Wii version of this game run somewhat well compared to the 360/PS3 versions, but slow down is more frequent here. This version has motion based controls for swinging which is simple and fun, but the gesture controls make combat a little more frustrating and QTE’s almost unbearable so use caution if playing this version (Extra costumes are unlocked in this version which is a neat bonus)!
