Greetings,

I have Sudeki, and I have really been enjoying the game. The excellent combat system is core to the expierence, which will undoubtably be a divisive issue among the gaming population. The background story is interesting, although as noted before the voice acting is quite bad. The stereotypical representation of various accents according to race and/or country of origin strikes me as both unnecessary and out of step with a fantasy theme where one would assume that neither scottland or china exists.

The game itself is still quite fun to play however, as a lot of good video game conventions make an appearance whose functionality is not to create 'realism', but rather to facilitate ease of play and enjoyability. Prime examples being the easily remembered and semi-static spawn spots as well as things like chests appearing when a group of enemies is defeated.

The game makes a suprisingly successful mixture of first person shooter and third person hack and slash, with the RPG elements of leveling up and skill growth adding just enough flavor to keep it entertaining.

The graphics really are quite nice, although ATI users should be aware that the real time shadows need to be turned off in order to maintain system stability. This isn't just coming from me, the recommendation comes from the games homepage, which also has a recent patch that fixes nearly all issues. ( http://www.sudekipc.com/ )

The music is pretty standard fair, as is the sound effects.

Although no particular feature stands out above and beyond anything seen before, the overall final product is an enjoyable above average 3D hack'n'slash RPG that is probably worth your time and money, especially if you need something to tide you over until Fable comes out.

Sincerely,
TastEPlasma
