Looking for a good hack 'n slash

[Meneldil]

Well, I dunno, these games (Assassin Creed included) are described as Hack 'n slash in my country. I know this one and Prince of Persia don't have a lot of hacking and slashing, but you still have to run around with a sword and kill some bad guys with nice-looking moves.

I don't really mind the plateforming part of those. From what I've seen, running on walls and doing cool stuff like that looks pretty awesome.

I tried Dynasty Warriors on PS2, and to say the least, I think it was terrible. Smashing the same 2 buttons to kill half a thousand guys who just look at you without trying to hurt you is not my definition of fun. That, and the voice-acting was the most ridiculous I've ever heard. I liked the Lord of the Rings games on PS2, too bad there's not a PS3 version of those.

I just heard about Edge of Twilight. The game seems really nice and fancy, and I like the steampunk background. But apparently, the game won't be released anytime soon.

Your kidding right? Best acting ever!

"ITS LU BU!!!!"

"RAWR IM LU BU, IM GUNNA KILL YOU FOOLS etc etc"

Then you button smash. That IS a H&S. Some characters aren't fun to play, but I cant get tired of the cool looking moves...

Again with the voices:
As they said in futurama "You can't just have characters say how they feel. That makes me angry!"

oh, LotR conquest is a pretty good hack n slash. not exclusively, but

I say that if you buy this, don't. Waste of cash glitchy and buggy. It's not even worth the rent.

^- this. And forget about PS2 games, God of War 1 and 2 are great, but the PS3 can't run them.

My room mate has a PS2 too. I went for LotR: RotK. We can play together, and it was only 10€, so meh, why not.

My next aim will probably be God of War I or/and II, as I found those for 9€ each at the local store. Then I'll see what I can find for a PS3, if possible not a 70€ game.

Frag, your game looks cool. I especially like the "Demon's Souls is deeply tactical, preferring to pit you one-on-one against vicious and high-level enemies that can use the same tactics, weapons and magic as you rather than drowning you in a sea of lesser foes.". The mindless bots of Dynasty Warriors killed the game for me.
