Patch mirror, as that spanish site is SLOOOOW. Or busy. Or dead.

It's actually quite well done. Once you customize the controls to your liking, the game play is intuitive, fast, and addictive as hell. And some of the melee combos are incredible-- and incredibly powerful. It's well worth the $20-30 or so to get it, imho.

I was really looking forward to this game. The light model and graphics looked stunning back in late99. Now that it's been out for a few months the lighting is still some of the best out there, but after playing the demo i decided not to even get the game. Those controls are horible!! The game looks like it would be fast paced hack and slash action, i was imagining a fully 3D verions of GoldenAxe or somthing. But Blade is SLOW and has rediclously tedious player control. I was hoping that it was some demo thing and that the real game would fix that, but sense there's been no new demo i assume that they never fixed it.

Is this the patch that makes Blade fu..........

...........oh wait it's already fun!*
