Xena: Warrior Princess

Xena finally gets her own game & fans will definitely love it. Story, characters, & scenery are all taken directly out of the show. So any proud fan (is there any out there willing to admit it) will immediately realize the tiny details & complete connection to the tv series. But despite the decent amount effort in content, it doesn't make up for the poor, repetitive game that lays beneath it. It turns out to be a long fighting game with adaquete amounts of adventure mixed in. You constantly battle a barrage of bad guys (who like to jump on you from every side possible) while occasionally finding a minor weapon upgrade or something of the sort. And all the levels go on like this. 989 Studios neglected to through in any other gameplay portions to break up the action. The only fun thing I found in this title was that Ring Weapon. It takes a guy out with one hit, but reguires some target practice & is worthless in close-combat. Some innovative controls & different gameplay sections would have made this title a better deal overall. But as it is, Xena's only worth a rental from the fans of the series.

Overall 6.2
