id say check out the demo on PSN for those interested.

Must be I missed something because it didnt come across as that good a game when it first came out.

I played the demo. It was actually fun, but I know it's going to be like DW and get repetitive. Not worth $40. I may get it for $30.

Check out hpv's post. The critics may hate the game but that's to be expected since they hate on everything Koei releases. Not to say that their reviews aren't based on valid points, but Koei fans tend to not give a shit about the flaws and instead ENJOY the games.

And Bladestorm is definitely one of those games. If you're a fan of the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series, then you should definitely try this game out. I friggin' loved it.

what the hell this game is still 50 bucks? it came out 2 years ago, lol should be like 10 bucks now

It says it's a pre-order. When does it release?

picked it up for the 360 on half.com for $15 a year or two ago (was one i wanted and seldom seen a used one for sale). ON the 360 (not PS3) its a bit so-so. Game wise its IMHO a bit better then the dynasty Warrior games (but not alot). It does chug in a few spots (has less fog of war then the DW games). Overall IMHO i would only buy if you like those style games.. alot. Reprint is nice for those who want one as the original print run was sold out quickly and there seems to be little used (copies of it) on the market.

Exactly! This is not a next-gen Dynasty Warriors but a next gen Kessen (with a change in subject matter).

What the hell.

Either this or the history channel is lying to me.

When I was looking for it in the summer, the PS3 version was next to impossible to find, fetching retail prices on ebay. The 360 version was still available in some places. I finally got my copy from cduniverse when they put the 360 version on sale for like $19 + shipping.

I actually found this at the Hollywood Video $30 and under sale for $4.99. Played it for a while...not bad, but not great. It's worth a buy, but I don't think at full price, IMHO.

It's a sign of a niche game, idiot. Metacritic rated your girlfriend a 1, because the general consensus is that she's butt ugly, but I bet she's a 90 on your "user" average.

Hell what am I talking about, you don't have a girlfriend.
