  • Summary: In the game, players control an anime-style heroine that destroys anything in her path using guns, blades, magic, and a healthy dose of cinematic flair.

    Despite finding quite a few things that proved substantially irritating at different moments, the battle-heavy action does indeed scratch an itch.

    The new action games' hero is a lady and her name is Ayumi. X-Blades has surely got its share of shortcomings, but the ones who love demanding hack'n slash games and who enjoyed titles like Devil May Cry or Too human, will surely have fun playing it.

    If it weren't for the M-rated content, X-Blades could have been easily recommended to kids for its accessible action and anime presentation, which is a shame because the adult crowd is going to be left disappointed with this game, despite its sex appeal.

    A gorgeous game filled with endless slaughter. Not perfect, not very deep, but it is quite fun indeed.

    A hit that came out of nowhere! This is a technical triumph, and the amount upgrades, collectibles, and customizable spells are impressive to say the least. Ayumi is an alluring badass - great addition to my PS3 lineup.… Expand

    This game goes beyond the barriers of terrible and into the depths of abysmal. The camera angles are horrible, the controls are weak and sluggish, and there is some semblance of something that is plot. It's hack and slash at its worst. avoid at all costs.… Expand
