This game seems like someone took super house of dead ninjas and tried to put it back together without understanding why it worked so well in the first place. Poor level design and the fact that you stop every time you swing your sword destroys the fast paced nature of SHDN.
This is such a blatant copy in everything from "rage" to the grim reaper but has technical compliance in that the people working on this at least knew how to put it together. What a sad mix of talent and impotent hackery.
