Well, I got POP5 for Christmas, and, of course, it owns. The enhanced graphics look nice in crisp, clean polygons. The new combat system Trumps anything else in this genre. The story is extremely different, and far more adult. It got my mom to say "ANDREW!" because of certain things that were said within the first five minutes of gameplay, but very appropriate in those circumstances .

The one problem I have with it is the quality of the cutscene voiceovers. In the last game, they were excellent, but in this game they seem like crappy childrens cartoon-type voiceovers (no passion, kind of flat and dull). But, I've only played 30min of the game, so hopefully they will get better.

But overall, this game is the master of all things related to dark, gory, blood splattering, decapitating, chopping in two, and other death-like things. Go get it. Now.

It may just be my computer, but the anti-aliasing isn't as happy as it was in the first game.
