    The engrossing storyline, smooth animation, adrenaline pumped battles and kick-ass combat system makes this game awesome.

    With all the great reviews, and all the hype this game and the sequel is getting, i really don't see what is so great about it. In my opinion, this is a mediocre adventure game at its best, and should be treated like one.

    Honestly, mikee, i haven't played the mark of kri yet, but to me, it looks like it has the potential to be a truly great game. medal of honor, i played. i bought it the day it came out. in fact, i'm a giant fan of the medal of honor series, but overall, the game kind of let me down. it's not that it was a bad game by any means. it was lacking things, i thought, like the option to quick save in a level. or even the number of levels, in my opinion, was not nearly enough for a game like moh: fl. and really, i didn't mind playing the levels over again everytime i died in the game. it was something else. something else was missing. i don't know what, but i traded in just as soon as i beat it. for the most part, i don't regret it. anyhoo, myself, i am very excited about the mark of kri coming out next week. it looks like a beautiful game. i think i'll enjoy this one more. … Expand

    This is a good game except for the fact that it is extremely short.

    You could almost call this game the most perfect rental ever made. So much action is loaded into this game, I felt as though I could never stop playing it. The challenge got so tough, that I found myself actually wanting to brutally chop up every enemy I saw. The control in battle works great and the graphics look good too. I call it the "perfect rental" because there are only 6 levels and the fighting system would eventually get old, if you bought the game. Still, I'm definitely going to play through it again every once in a while.… Expand

    From the little i saw of the game it was awesome. I am very disappointed though, it is rated "M". That is sooooooo stupid. The little violence there is is little specks of blood on the ground, and on his swords. Granted, some of the moves seem like they are gory, like stikin' the sword through the guy on the ground, or impaling a guy to a wall, etc. But I've seen worse. And it is a great game. I'd recomend it to all action/adventure gamers! Go check out the movies to it at Gamespot.… Expand

    I really hope they come out with a 'mark of kri 2' but with a different character in a different time. like maybe an escaped gladiator from the roman times as the main character instead. i havent beat this game yet but so far it is very good.

    A sleeper hit that is not only enjoyable on the eyes, but the action, the story, and the maturity of the game really spice up the title. While the game is short, a game that leaves you yearning for more has to be good.

    MoK’s AI swings between moments of brilliance and shear stupidity like a pendulum. The difficulty and game length make this game one of the shortest adventure games in recent memory.

    Dedicating all your time, you can finish the game in about fifteen hours, which includes the completion of all Baumusu’s challenges, unlocking of arenas, and other rewards. This seriously decreases the replay factor.
