Dark Messiah has insanely awesome combat. Love it. If MW had this combat, it would be the best damn game ever.

It's smooth, pretty varied, and you can kick monsters to good effect (impahhhling them on spiked walls, pushing them off huge cliffs and suchlikes). A sword actually plays differently from a staff or a pair of daggers (sword/shield is pretty typical, a staff relies on knockdown, and daggers are fast, have lower damage, are sneak attack capable), there's cool moves (but that's just animation), spells are neat (being able to steer a fireball might not be a new thing, but it sure is awesome), and the active blocking works.

Oh, right, there's also this story stuff around. I don't know the end to it all yet, but so far it's weird and not too interesting (just there to give me Orcs to slay, really).

Random stuff.
