Finished Strider, first playthrough on hard mode. The game's okay. It's competant, as action games go, but there's nothing special or noteworthy about it. I could have designed this thing in a day. There's not a whole lot of skill or strategy to the gameplay. A fairly good chunk of the game is just you mashing buttons and watching things die. Sure, you'll take hits in the process, but there's health items everywhere. The controls are bit too slippery at times, and the soundtrack is mediocre. There's hardly any story to speak of. The graphics are...okay, but nothing spectacular, which sums up the game as a whole.
I'd rate it a 6 out of 10, a decent way to spend an afternoon if you haven't got anything better to play
(I did get it for free as well, so that kind of helps haha) Still a little confused on why they just didn't call it "Fatal Frame: The Cursed Memoir" or something though... "Spirit Camera" doesn't sound quite as good if you ask me :/
The story was a bit meh, but I really liked the variety of characters to recruit, the graphics, and the quick battle system (which made the minimal amount of grinding a lot better). The war battles were pretty good too, but they did get a little too easy near the end... Now I definitely can't wait to try out the sequel :>
