Gosh, the screen tearing is absurd in this game until the point that it tires my eyes... Control is not so responsive also... Still, it's a pretty fun game, and most importantly, simple, it's quite easy to get a hang of the combo system. Don't mistaken 'simple' with 'easy' tho, it's quite punishing if you keep mashing buttons and don't practice to dodge and time combo correctly.

Um, i never played a single Zelda games before, no idea how hard are those. But if you have played soul reaver series before, which is a very similar genre, darksider is way way easier in term of both puzzle and combat.

Screen tearing is the least of my concern, because it freezes frequently on me, godamn game... I want the freaking patch NOWWW!!!

Tried that as well, doesn't work. I can play Forza3 like 10 hours straight and no single hiccup... this game is really... urghhh

You guys are lucky, at least you can play the game properly. My box fails to run the game for more than 5min, it just freezes for no f***ing reason, with patch wihtout patch.
Other games run fine, and i tested the game on other consoles, runs fine.
So, f***ing unlucky me.
