On the whole? It's whole :)
It is wonderful how the mix of good art, music, animation can always be multiplied by hundred if you add an excellent story in the pot. Personally i think a game without a story is a blank page, although there are many games that have achieved glory with a simple story-line that just makes the gamer go on.
In this game you play as a young boy that slowly learns the basics of light and through the years becomes a legendary paladin able to fight undead armies that knock on his chapel doors. As you progress you gain experience and learn many different skills. It is great that some of them are connected to the story line and when you learn them you get that epic feeling. The game goes smooth but the fighting could have included more combos for you to throw at your enemies. Still I give this game a strait 10 because it is the story that drives you, that pulls you and this game shows that creativity is the key to a great game.
Enjoy it like i did!
