    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.

    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.

    Everything about X-Blades is mediocre. It works for what it is, and there's some charm to the action and the characters, but the gameplay design is lacking in ingenuity; a notion that is perpetuated the longer you play.
  2. That X-Blades remains a decent title despite the lack of compelling missions and likable characters is something of an accomplishment in itself, though not one we'd recommend advertising from the rooftops.
  3. X-blades doesn't succeed in delivering a rich offer. The gameplay is repetitive, and platforming doesn't play out well. The long fights are usually boring, and the plethora of upgrades and different kinds of magic is not enough to make it fun. Add a terrible A.I., and what you get is a title that won't be fun for anyone but hack'n'slash die-hard fans.
