This worries me. Are they neglecting this crucial detail because they're huge fags hoping to ressurect an argument over whether games can be art, or is that just because the combat is so shallow it's not worth mentioning?

DETAILS PLEASE.


Basically you string together tons of combos with your whip chain swords and jumping. You can grab enemies too and do crazy shit with them, throw them in the air and slice them up, rip flying people's wings off, throw people, super slash people, and then cast magic spells to fry their ass.

Tewt (proudly) showed me a video or two or screenshot of people getting like 600 hit combos or 1,000 hit combos. For fun.

So basically, if you're a DMC-head and finished Ninja Gaiden, there is a danger of finding God of War too easy. But we don't know about later levels yet.

The combat is never mentioned in reviews because it's good and don't leap out as a problem. It's assumed that you'll like it.
