So, Capcom's new game is out and it sure has gotten a lot of hate with reviewers and whatnot. But when you skim the GameFAQ's forums, and play online for a bit, it just seems to get worshipped.

I'm honestly loving it so far. All admit, the gameplay itself is quite simple (some call it new age Contra, and I can definitely agree). Its a gun fest, and most of the bosses have typical "weakspots" that need to be shot to take them down.

But I don't think that matters when you realize how beautiful this game is in its own right. You're scaling mountains, gigantic stories high buildings. And then the boss fights are just downright incredible and epic, some of the best I've ever seen. The scale of some of the bosses is tremendous, and I'd go to say they're up there with the bosses of Shadow of the Collosus, if not even bigger. Music is pretty epic at times too. The characters and the plot don't seem mind blowing, but it doesn't seem bad either. Voice acting is fine and everything.

There's probably a dozen or so weapons, and then a dozen or more mech's that you can eventually control at some points throughout the game (its not forced, you get in and out of them at your own will. Though they seem essential for most bosses). And the multiplayer is just amazing. The levels are taken straight from the campaign, and I've been getting into 8 vs 8 ranked matches easily. And there's always mech's and whatnot all over the maps. Its pretty intense and fun.

Overall, I don't see how this game has gotten so much hate. Its a great action game with a classic shooter vibe to it. And its hard. With incredible multiplayer to boot. Definitely on the list of must own 360 titles from me.

I played a bit of it, and I can see where the reviewers are coming from. Chances are that most of them didn't bother to play it too much. But it seemed like a shallow game when I was playing it. Perhaps you just get cold feet when you first try it out.

Well, like I said it truly is a pretty basic game. There's not much to it, but after the first few levels the difficulty shoots up and it gets pretty intense, and fun.

I don't know, I like it. But I'm not the pickiest person when it comes to games I guess.
