Untold Legends (PS3) $45 shipped and other PS3 discounts at Amazon

I was going to post the Untold Legends deal yesterday. For those who have played it - is it worth the $45? Reviews weren't great, but I got the feeling that was due mainly to the $60 price tag. The artwork looked pretty good, at least when it was featured in Play magazine last fall.

Untold Legends isn't awful, just extremely repetitive. Hold out til it's $30 or less, if you can.

It's a dumbed-down version of the PSP games. That tells you pretty much all you need to know. The graphics are the best part, and they aren't that great. It was the first PS3 game I bought, I've had it since November, and I've played it less than 5 hours total. I love action-RPGs, but this one just really doesn't have much going for it. And, as previously mentioned, it can be VERY difficult in places, because there are no potions.

This pretty much sums up my opinion as well. I've been playing with my brother-in-law through the game. It's fun for the two of us, but it's not great.
In 2 player mode the camera becomes very very annoying. There are puzzles where it's very difficult (if not impossible) to complete as 2 players, but really easy to complete with just one.
Also the loot dropped from a chest or mob was rarely better than what I was able to purchase... this was annoying. Eventually we just quit going after the hard to reach chests because we knew that anything inside wouldn't be worth the effort.
The story is terrible as well. Cheesy and predictable.
The camera (in 2player mode) is by far the worst feature and at $45 I'd probably pass (but I'm cheap!). If it drops to $25 it would probably be worth it.
