Most of the game is fun and the graphics are nice. It contains most of what the PC version contains. However, once my character gets past 20 years, sword fights become impossible to win. No matter which sword I use or what tactics I try, I can see the orange and blue lines on the screen that indicate my attempt at a hit or defense, but the guy just stands there unmoving. So I cannot go forward with the game and it has become unplayable. Once this is fixed I will be happy to change the review to 5 stars.
A nice-to-have would be a way to skip the cutscenes. It gets a bit annoying seeing the same ones over and over and waiting for them to end.
