I bought it for $30, beat it and traded it in for $4 less.
The graphics, music and voice acting are all top notch, and the story is interesting if you're at all into studying religious texts.
But yeah, the combat does get pretty repetitive (and cheap) and there's no way to run from battles.
My biggest problem were the glitches though. There are achievements for breaking 500 items and killing 500 enemies. When I hit those numbers, the game stopped and loaded for a second, then I got the achievement and the game resumed. That's pretty common with 360 games. But then the game would freeze for a second EVERY SINGLE TIME I defeated an enemy or broke an item. And that got super annoying for the last couple levels.
