Animation/Graphics::: Think Jak and Daxter animation and flow, think Onimisha action (but with it's own unique fighting system), think Metal Gear Solid 2 stealth; mix those games triple the fun factor and you have Mark of Kri. The look of the game reminds me of Mulan and the Emperor's New Groove, but with a more mature presentation. It seems to have become that American animation is best familiarized with Disney or Don Bluth animation. Just as Japan has their animation style, it seems we do as well. The difference is that most Japanese animation is pretty violent (okay, sometimes they can be very violent). So, think of this as our American version of that. It's American style animation (i.e. Disney style) that is violent.
Rau (the main character) can kill/battle his enemies many different ways. For instance, you can sneak up behind an enemy and either break his neck, cut his head off, use your sword to staple him to the wall, cut him from bottom up, on and on). Rau has so much animation to him.
Control/movement of characters::: The controls and fighting sytle may seem difficult at first, but once you do it a couple of times it becomes cake (training is recommended at the beginning and when you get a new weapon). The fighting system is unique as in I have never seen this way used before in a game. You use your right analog stick to target an enemy or enemies. Then a button icon appears above their heads (square, X or circle). When attacking you can press the button that corrisponds to the enemy you want to hit with the selected icon over their head. There is a lot more to it, but like I said, once you get it, it is actually easy.
The sound::: the sound fits the game well
Fun factor::: I can't stess the fun factor of this game. I didn't think anything of this game when I first saw a preview, but after reading a few reviews and seeing how everyone rated this game high (check on gamezone.com). I was convinced there must be something to this game. You have a number of attacks, a number of weapons, you have your faithful sidekick Kuzo (a bird that can be used to seek out enemies, help out puzzles, help with ladders and switches....like Beastmaster. You can see through the eyes of Kuzo whenever you want).
In closing, I am not good at writing reviews in text. I can sit there and tell you all about it in person, better than my review. What it comes down to, is that I highly recommend this game.
I am a 20-something long time console video gamer. I own and highly recommend the other following games for the PS2 ((also gives you an idea of what type of games I go for)):::
