Decent Game with a Few Flaws
Actually, this is a pretty good game. The controls are responsive and fairly solid. The environments and characters, while somewhat bland, aren't terrible. Animation is pretty smooth. The sound effects are decent, and they don't become annoying. The music, while nothing spectacular, doesn't irritate and just kind of bleeds into the background.
My main gripes are with the the cut scenes, the voice acting, and the inability for the player character to crouch.
Cut scenes may as well have been stick figure drawings, and were presented in such a way that it wasn't quite clear exactly what I was looking at.
Voice acting is just simply god-awful. It all feels very forced.
During the first boss battle, especially, I would have liked the option to crouch. Several times during that battle, I could have easily avoided unecessary damage if I could have executed a well-timed duck.
All in all, though, this is a decent game that is at least worth a look.
