agree, but i dont see it to be underrated.
Also, warrior within. I've seen many sites which put this on like the 3rd worse game (out of 10-to be precise, i saw 4 such sites) or sometimes the 5th or so.
Just because it changes the pace and all. Its bloody, has action and lot of "nudity". I mean, ok, if you don't want to play it atleast dont insult it because it is friggin awesome.
Also, if everyone is critisizing the new style it brings, then you're sure gonna hate Prince of Persia 2008 (though i think making each enemy boss like is 'coral')
