Started playing it on Sunday.
After some installation problems, it played very smoothly.
I'm quite impressed so far, its very smooth. the combat control seems simple but can get complex by putting together combos.
The UI is one of the must unobtrusive I've seen in a long time, but it works very well.
The cut scenes, so far, are gorgeous, very well done indeed.
As I'm in the UK, I get to play the uncensored version, not that that means much just a few topless digital women and some fussy sex scenes.
I would guess this is a 'boys' game, it probably wouldn't appeal to women unless they 'like' women.
Anyway thats all I have atm.
