I'm not sure why I'm commenting here (a comment that's sure to get me flamed by other commenters, but meh), given that what I have to say is already said. Guess repetition's worth something:
Great review, and I agree that I wonder about what NPC's stand in to be so cemented to the floor. Or, in some cases, cemented to a small cart which follows a set track.

Nier-death experience 
This game sounds like one of the modern "lets make this game to have it all". Pieces are working but they are playing their own game. Well, one more game to not-buy.

Yahtzees last 7 reviews were all sequels. Im actually pleased he reviewed a game nobody really knew anything about. Its the games that nobody really knows about or is excited for that I like to se reviewed. It means I can sit there and go "that game looks alright and its not a friggen sequel" and possibly go out and buy it. Sure alot of the time the games suck but every now and then a good one can be found.
I was actually glad to see this one reviewed because I had no idea what it was. I'd seen the name bouncing around and had tried to go to the official website, but then my browser froze up on me at the loading screen, and apparently summoning the doubtless inhuman effort required to try again or check Wikipedia was out of the question. It looks interesting, actually, since I haven't played one of these games since Squaresoft stopped being Squaresoft. (Not out of any particular dissatisfaction with the games or anything, I just think that was right around the time when I started preferring my games to involve a bit more guns and screaming.)
Then again, I thought The Witcher "looked interesting" too, at least enough to pick it up during the Steam annual sale, and that's currently gathering cobwebs somewhere in the deepest darkest recesses of my hard drive. Oh well, that's what rentals are for.

I totally did play Illbleed. That game was surprisingly fun, in between the horribly frustrating bits.
While I agree that it wasn't the greatest game, I do believe it's worth at least a rent. Especially for the music... which Yahtzee apparently wasn't listening to. There are only two areas of the game where there is even a close resemblance to a 10-second loop, while the rest of the game is filled with some of the best music I've heard (it's replaced Chrono Cross as my favorite OST). Ah well, at least the review was still entertaining.
