   Closing thoughts...   
      
   Found a few more things before I had to return it to BB.   
      
   1. They have this system called "perfect" timing. Essentially, if you   
   hit the attack button at *just* the right time Tyris will unleash a more   
   powerful attack(accompanied by flames). The timing is a lot like it was   
   on PSO, when you'd do a pure "hard" attack. Doing this during a   
   counter/sidestep allows for a one hit kill(that I had talked about   
   earlier) on larger enemies(never did get it to work on smaller enemies).   
      
   2. I managed to get to a new area, a desert. There's some huge beast   
   that really whips some ass, he was, by far, the best out of the few I   
   rode. Things get pretty hairy, they send a LOT of enemies out, some   
   riding their own beasts.   
      
   I didn't find myself playing it too much the last two days I had it, it   
   just got too hard, too fast. All in all, I'd probably stick with my   
   rating of around a 70 out of 100. It's good, but not great. Doesn't   
   really feel a lot like GA, nor Conan...but something else in the middle.   
   Like I said, this will probably appeal more to the Ninja Gaiden players   
   out there, where they'll feel right at home with the ultra quick pace of   
   the fights, and the constant switching between offense and defense...
