I saw a video of X-Blades back before it was released commercially in America. Even back then, it was pretty obvious how horrible and unbalanced the gameplay was. And the cutscenes... Eugh.
Good episode, though. Not as good as some of the others (like RE5 and Oni 3), but good. Gooo lion! I think we can all agree the game would have been better if the lion ripped her apart, ate her, then went on to become the hero of his own game, which would probably involve hunting down the fantasy RPG world equivalent of Zebras and Gazelles. I'd play that game.
