Have not played much but game seems different enough to be quite interesting. I grabbed it for 15 bucks but as stated its 34 new at jb which is pretty good for a solid title

^ Same here, got it for about $20 from Playasia, and though I can't find the will to play it just yet it does intrigue me, mostly from it's team ico vibe. I really do wish they had have gone for a different direction with the Majin's voice though, I think that's the main thing that puts me off it.

I think the Majin's voice may be a bit more grating in the normal gameplay segments, but in the cutscenes he sounds a bit less "dopey", especially when you get towards the end of the game.
It's interesting that you mention the Team Ico vibe as well - a lot of people thought they were trying to mimic The Last Guardian with the partner system, but apparently this was in development before Team Ico announced it.

They went that way with the character and I think it kinda suits his clumsy nature. I have heard so many complaints about his voice but it seems fine to me.

Good review, the game sounds interesting (and I'm glad there's some sort of map system for collectables, I'm totally OCD when it comes to them but some games make it so difficult...). I'll pick this up once I've worked through my current pile of games (damn sales!).

Nice review, made up my mind about it considering its only $34 at JB. Seems to be worth the asking price!
