I loved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, so after completing that last year I knew I wanted to give this a try. It's like nothing I've played before, a Kung-Fu RPG! The new direct control combat was a welcome change from KOTOR, and I really liked the skill system to develop different fighting techniques. It was also fun to change techniques in the middle of combat based on your situation. I also really liked managing your health, chi and focus in real time. It took a while to get used to, but once you understood what style uses what resource, and which are effective against which enemy types, it was fun to slash with your sword, do a spinning back kick, use your chi to heal and then cast a fireball all in the same battle. The story was also engaging, although some of the characters could be a bit long winded at times. Overall a really fun game that I'm glad I finally found the time to check out.
