Hunted: The Demon's Forge

So I started playing this on the 4th because it was so damn hot outside!! So a big shout out to Mother Nature because this is turning out to be a really great game. You have some very solid co-op play (very reminiscent of Resident Evil 5- a plus!) between your warrior and your archer. Even when playing by yourself, the co-op partner does their fair share of the work. The game has a simple weapon system, your main weapon and your back-up, that's it, with both players able to use the same base magics, all of which are upgradeable through a crystal collection system. The gameplay itself has a great targeting system for weapons and crossbows, while very much maintining the 'hack and slash' feel you get when using a sword. The story is beginning to unfold in front of me, and since I am not a spoiler kind of guy I will just say that I wouldn't trust that sorceress as far as my warrior could chuck her! Good game, a lot of fun, simple enough to enjoy without being weighed down by too much role play element. I think this could be a co-op game that brings non-RPG'ers into the fantasy realm. That's my beef.. what's yours?
