So...what is the verdict on Folklore.

I've been seeing many DLCs at the PSN Store for this game, and I've been seeing nothing but good things out of the GameFAQs reviews on it. It looked good from a video of it they had playing at my local EB Games store.

So has anyone played this, and is it any good? Was thinking about trying it out.

Since there's a demo right on the PSN store, it seems rather ridiculous to ask.

However, I thought it sucked horribly. The story (far as you can get in the demo) is vaguely interesting, but the gameplay bored the shit out of me, and the presentation, while seemingly cool, ate up a lot of time I'd rather not have spent looking at comic book panels. It would be fine otherwise, just they used this so often. Keats' wit is good most of the time, but really, folklore seems to have the depth of a teaspoon.

There's a demo? I never saw it on there. Might have to go check it out.

Yeah, it's where I formed my opinion of the game.

I hear it gets better storywise, but the gameplay is still the same. If you don't dig the demo's gameplay, it's probably not for you. Unless you have a major hardon for the story.

I'm downloading it now. We'll see how this goes.
