It is a good game, a long story and there's so many directions you can take it. Its like a normal RPG. can equip different weapons, there's different classes + types of people - human - dwarf - elf...and later on in the game werewolf and blood mages. There's a 6 slot attack system, you have square, triangle and circle to assign movements you learn as your level rises. when you hold R2 the 3 slots are swapped with the 3 slots behind. On my main character (a dwarf) I have several shield based attaks, ones to stun monsters, and others to hurt/death blow.
pressing X is a normal attack......and when you press X when something of interest or a monster is infront, it goes into an Automatic mode, it runs up and either collect/reads the item. or if its a monster, starts attacking.....although at any time you can move around and start attacking exactly where you want to.
been given stupid filing crap...and have got a cough out of nowhere......not impressed. might just go now.
