I totally appreciate the fact that the series was supposed to go in a darker direction for the sequel but....god, it was done in such a terrible, terrible way. early press stuff indicated that the prince had been driven mad by the Dhakata and that felt like an awesome idea- to replace the romantic hero with a tourtured man fighting for his life is a great idea.
however, the only thing they managed was to replace everything good about SoT with this...grotesque cock metal farce of a character who's seemingly only trait of 'madness' was calling the fetish woman a bitch.
that's why i hated the game. the story was still good, and the gameplay was freakin awesome. I just cannot tolerate the presentation.
