Dark Messiah for 360

[Twilight]

I was really looking forward to this game since playing the demo. It seemed very similar to Oblivion but with a sweet multiplayer aspect.

I went out and bought it last night and I have to say that I am kinda dissapointed with it. I have not played the multiplayer yet, but after getting about 4 hours into the campaign, it has more bugs than a Tijuana whorehouse.

The NPC animations are very glitchy where they will be standing in a corner and swinging a sword at nothing. At one point, I got stuck at the top of a ladder with my body halfway through a closed hatch. There is also a "finishing move" where you stab a guy that is knocked to the ground, but sometimes your charachter will glitch out and start dancing in a circle instead of performing the move.

To top all that off, I just spent about an hour and a half playing since my last save (my own stupid fault, I should know better) and the game froze. That REALLY pisses me off. The frame rate gets bogged down also when there are more than a couple of bad guys on the screen at once.

Despite all these complaints, there is a nice campaign under the mess. I am having fun with it, these problems just take away from the joy. What really attracted me to this game was the multiplayer. Heres to hoping that will be a little better than the rest of it. Buyer beware

Thanks for the info Brian. Sounds like it was rushed out the door. Those are easy bugs that should have been found and fixed before it shipped. That really sucks. Although having a character break out in dance instead of finishing off someone sounds pretty funny...
