This is actually a great refreshment to "First-person medieval combat" category.
Requires skill and practice to master, but in the mean time, it's always as exhilarating to see an enemys head fly through the air after you've chopped it off with a sword or axe or whatever suits your needs.
Should buy the Deadliest warrior DLC since it looks awesome, but haven't gotten around to it yet, haven't had much time to play this awesome game for a while.
Strongly recommend if you enjoy FPS/RPG type games and want some challenge in the multiplayer.
As a minor con, the servers are sometimes a bit buggy, or at least were the last time I played, so it was a bit of a challenge if you wanted to play with a friend on a same server, to manually check server after another which was compliant with both of you.
