This weeks trial is just that. The game went unpurchased when I tried it out. Not because I had any REAL problem with the game. But because I was only able to test about 3 minutes of ACTUAL gameplay.
The game is a very well designed action brawler. You fight a bunch of different enemies in different arena shaped areas. I can't comment on story or anything like that because the majority of the TIMED TRIAL is the tutorial.
The game has descent graphics and certainly seems to have a deep combat system which you learn about in the Tutorial. But the tutorial itself REALLY isn't necessary. I could have easily jumped into this game and just button mashed until I figured it out. I certainly would have preferred this to the five minutes tutorial which allows you just enough time to get about half way through the first part of the first level. Your immediate feeling is, "What a rip-off!"
This was a BIG mistake. Usually timed trials are reserved for things like shooters or board games. Games that DON'T NEED A TUTORIAL.
However, my guess would be that the tutorial does represent to a fair degree the gameplay and certainly you get the idea of the graphical quality of the title from the tutorial as well. So if you like the tutorial then you will most likely enjoy the game. However, the game does cost 400 Microsoft Points.

The game does contain multiplayer so if you and your friends during a party want something new and different to play it MIGHT be worth the money. But a 6 level single player campaign alone probably isn't. So I haven't touched much of the game from the Trial, but that's how it goes with Trials. Sometimes you get a good idea of the game, sometimes you don't.
