The graphics were great for the cutscenes, and please know this is a MATURE game through and through, something I sometimes enjoy as well, so that I can lose myself in a visceral world or just watch realistic slicing and dicing. That said, the game looked good, and while cutscene graphics and voiceover work was done quite well (though I didn't play through the whole game, so I won't say it was great all the way through), the gameplay part has nice looking areas, and good animations for the VERY large variety of attacks, combos and ways to dispatch or humiliate your opponents but hearing the same dying words, and seeing the same general deaths that happened when I played was just too much after the couple hundredth or so guy I cut apart.
The game does seem to follow the show very well, so if you are into the show and love it then this may very well be something you'll like. Even the repetetive fighting doesn't have to be that way if you learn the abundant combo and attack systems. I could certainly see playing this game to see how well it sticks to the story and using it's nearly endless onslaught of enemies as a guilty pleasure, but aside from that, or perhaps having a weekend made of watching the show and playing along with the game could be fun, so I don't want to say this game is bad or unenjoyable, but I do think it is something that only a select group will want to own, even though its price drops on many sites I check, which could mean you may want it if you are a fan like I've said. On this game I still suggest a rent even if you are a fan...a couple bucks could save you a lot of sad dollars running out of your wallet. Also, I didn't like that there were no Trophies, but that really isn't a big thing.
Overall view:
Rent? Possibly, but not recommended.
Own? Only for the select few, sadly, so no.
Personal Rating (out of 10): 6.4
