Anybody else got this game preordered? Along with Final Fantasy XII its a game I've been looking forward to for quite some time, despite the fact that I'm not usually a fan of the slash and manic `em up genre.
Thoughts?
Finding out that you have a puzzle to solve can be tricky though.
Ah well. Done and dusted... A week ago. Immensly enjoyed it, but f***, that final boss battle! Man, that shizzle was diffizzle!
Also, aren't the extras amazing? I mean, really, supreme. Maybe even God-like.
XD
Its all part of the challenge. :)
Anyway I'm stating to get very annoyed with it due to its "puzzles". It might just be me, maybe I'm not smart, but they're sooooo dificult, I'm only a little way into the game, but it's taken me so long.
For example the one where you have to save the Oracle in Athens, that one took ages and I eventually resorted to a guide book.
Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Heh, the 'sharp blade' mechanisms are really annoying.
I've found that whenever there seems to be a save point for no particular reason, there's generally a very hard platform bit soon after. Nice of them.
Anyway, I completed the game today and I have to say, thats the first PS2 game in a while that I've really enjoyed. A fitting end to a great, great game too.
Good to see that they'll be sequel.
