The Mark of Kri
I just played the demo for this game out of the August edition
of OPM and the game was stunning on many levels.

The Graphics were the first thing you noticed when you begin to play. It comes across as a Kiddie game (which you find out a bit later it's not) but with extreme details to the enviroment and even the fighting has great animations (you will never get tired of stabbing someone in the back as they run away or cutting off the enemies head).
4/5 Graphics

The Story starts off with the main char (Rau) is unsatisfied with his life and wishes for more and thats where he heads off and the game begins. Only Rau his weapon and his friendly bird they decide to go out and make the world a better place (or something like that)...
Story 4/5 (the demo was only a small piece of the complete game and yet it was still interesting)

Gameplay The Mark of Kri features a tottaly innovated lock-on, which uses the right thumbstick to assign buttons (o, ^, x) to the enemies on screen. that lets you fight enemies to every which side when the attack you in a simple manner. The game also features a soul reaver like brutallity that makes and blood thirsty gamer happy.
5/5

Sound
the sounds and music for this game are great and really make the whole experince a lot stronger with great bass and effects (makes you wanna go get a surrond sound system just for your ps2)
5/5
Overall I give this game 4/5 a must rent and a nice add-on to any gamers collection
I am not really into Adventure games but this one was the exception. (No it wasn't just because the main character resembles a polynesian warrior the Maori from New Zealand)
