I know most fans hate this game violently but i think theres a lot to love and hate about this game. Personally i think some of Kiryus best moments are in this game interacting with the children at the orphanage and the new friends he has made.
However the combat and the boss fights are.... very tedious to get used to. A lot of the problems in this game stem from it being the ps3 original with no upgrades and it shows.
Best ost in the series but this game is mixed for me personally, i see why many call it the worst in the series.
