Just finished it. I kinda got into to it as soon as I hit the castle but the game is littered with problems and I never, ever want to hear Patrick Stewart in a game again. Lords of Shadow made me loath his voice. And while not being able to go back to levels 1-5 without swapping a disc even though the whole thing is on my HD was extremely disappointing, towards the end I found that going back would've been pointless anyway. Who cares if I don't have an additional 5 daggers or an extra fairy? All my important things like my life bar and light/shadow meters were full or just about there and even if you do decided to go back to pick up an extra gem the game forces you to play out the entire level to keep it. No fucking thank you. If I could just back out to the world map after I collected what I needed without going through all the other bullshit I might've actually went back and picked up the stuff I missed.
Anyway, LoS is beautiful to look at but I've got not desire to ever touch it again.
Now off to Deadly Premonition.
