I wasn't sure this game would be for me, but this game is an amazing blast. I hear it's a bit easier than games in the past, though I wonder if that's because most of them were handheld portable titles, whose controls can be a little more difficult that a full, comfy controller, but either way it's challeging while being super fun and accessable. If you've ever had an interest in the series, I suggest giving this one a try. It still has a difficult curve starting out for new players, but the experiences you learn over your play time really make the difference in being capable rather than just levels or gear. This is a game you can have a blast with friends and even alone for years.
