I'm just curious as to if anyone else has played this yet (and what they think of it)
I rented it the other day, and I'm about halfway through right now.

There are a few things I like about it, and though it's by no means a blockbuster title, I'd certainly like to see another entry in the series.
It does a lot of things, some of them very good, some of them...not so great.

So to essentially sum it up, it can be lumped in the same category as Gungrave. It's not amazing, but it's lots and lots of fun.
