       Well, I guess the title of game nobody ever heard of yet everyone loves now would go to this game, because of the many times goofy charcter models yet amazingly brutal gameplay. You are Rau an indian hindu type person from long ago and you just go around and kill people. I first got a grasp of how violent this game is when I snuck up behind a guy and the background goes blurry and i killed him in slo mo matrix style.
        This is really an action/stealth game which is given life by your total number of stealth kills. Stealth killing adds so much more gore to an already "anti-Lierbermen" game. When you have the option of breaking his neck or slitting his throat that just has to make you smile. And when you can grab a guy and slam him against a wall and stab him in the face that, also, makes you smile. There is also one more stealth type that is soooooo sweet. Overhead kills. Try sneaking up on an enemy and taking your spear and jabbing it right through his skull.
        The amount of enemies on screen would be more easily taken if you had more than three people to target I think putting people on the shoulder buttons and ALL FOUR geometric shape buttone would have been much sweeter. When you have numerous enemies around you  and are negaged in a fight only the enemies you have targeted are the ones who attack you. So basically all the problems of this game genre are here.\
         One thing that I found that was the biggest flaw in the game was the length. SIX STAGES!?!?!? My god, was this game meant for kids who can not sit still for 30 seconds? Granted , yes, some of the levels are long but the first 3 aren't.So the game can be summed up like this, go on a quest and kill, and well, go on a quest and kill. You are left with arena mode and replaying the story.
         This game is good for a casual gamer or someone who just wants a quick killin feeling this is the game for you. For mosother people, a few days rental (just the time to beat it.)
