Title: Sony\'s latest gem.
Post by: GAMES on August 01, 2002, 02:09:55 PM: Has anyone picked up Mark of Kri yet? I want some impressions dammit!:D

But seriously, I\'m really looking forward to Sony\'s new title but I don\'t got no dough, if you know what I mean. So anyone you who has it, is it good, is it bad, really fun, no fun, just tell me something I\'m lonely dammit. And don\'t tell me what the reviews say I want your opinion!:D

Thank you.

Good Points:

- The game looks good and the story is told in an interesting way
- There are LOTS ways to kill people very violently
- You can go running in swinging your sword or you can sneak up on the enemy and kill them (violently)
- You have a pet bird that you can use to see through it\'s eyes (like the movie "Beast Master)

Bad Points:

- No jump button (the game feels like it should have one, but it doesn\'t)
- The cut scenes are a bit rough, (not as bad as I\'ve heard some people say it is.)
- The fighting system is like playing frequency, (each enemy is represented by a different button and sometimes you forget to hit the right button for the right enemy.)
- You can\'t "Fly" the bird around like a spy-plane or make him attack an enemy. (this would have been a good idea, especialy if you could claw the eyes out of some enemies to distract them before you attack.)

I\'m only on the 2nd Level so I don\'t have the full picture of what this game is all about but I\'ll keep you updated.
