7.6
Still, even these complaints are pretty small since the overall feeling is so bloody and visceral that it can be forgiven. It's not often you can slice a man's arm off and then beat him senseless with it. Or get into a kicking fight with a woman who's had both arms cut off. That's something to play through and just feel warm and fuzzy inside over.
Put both these elements of the game together and the result is the equivalent of a summer action flick with a decent plot. It won't make you think too hard and the slow parts can get a little boring and clumsy, but the action is fun enough to redeem it.
