It got reviews that aren't much above average.

8.25/7.5 from GameInformer, citing frustrating platforming, terrible voiceovers, and repetitious, mindless hack-n-slash gameplay
5.2 from IGN, citing slow framerate, repeated areas, below average voiceovers, weird music, slow movement during gameplay, lots of backtracking through areas, and little replay value

Do you have anything to say to contradict them?
