First of all, I can't believe I doubted the greatness of this game enough to go and rent it first. (After Portrait of Ruin and hearing so many great things about Dawn of Sorrow)

I'm going to give a basic pros and cons style list of what I do and don't like about the game so far.

Like:

Art style! Very similar to Portrait of Ruin, even down to the menus. That is not a bad thing at all.

Controls. Very smooth, easy to get the hang of and running through a level slaying enemies and using magnetic stuff without thinking about the controls is a good thing.

Save system from Portrait of Ruin is intact, easy difficulty is not. Now don't get me wrong, I had a ton of fun with Portrait of Ruin, but I am enjoying the slightly harder difficulty of OoE. Not hair-ripping hard, but not wishing you didn't have the advantage all the time.

I'm not too far into the game so you'll have to excuse my lack of things to comment on.

Dislike:

The game seems very linear. Like I mentioned above, I'm not terribly far into the game, but everywhere I have gone so far has been exact, with no thinking on my part.

That's about all I can come up with for now. I thought I had more stuff before writing this blog.

Anyway, before I make anymore of a fool out of myself I'll stop the blog here! I could say something like 'Peace Out' but I'm deciding not to because that's not my thing. BAH. I'll shut up and let you all resume your lives.
