The Crusader without a soul...

The Good
Let's make this quick, Crusader: No Regret introduced vaguely the same game play as Crusader: No Remorse. Any additional features were (to my opinion) very much unnoticeable. Either that or I have a bad memory...hahaha.

The Bad
Well there are a couple of things that made Crusader: No Regret worse from its older sibling that I can still recall:

They eliminated the "shopping" feature. Killing enemies and looting them was always fun. Using the stuff found and selling them to buy new gear was even more anticipated. Now its just shoot and loot. The "economic" value suddenly was eliminated from the game...another linear action game.

Hey, what happened to my "kill statistics". I recall (I think) they eliminated the number of kills you obtained in this game. It's not essential, but a track record would be nice.

Honestly speaking, this game was a major disappointment, although I eventually finished the game. A disappointment because (obviously) gamers expect a better sequel - more this - more that. Crusader: No Regret was a less this - less that. It practically lost its soul which that made its predecessor a game hit.

The Bottom Line
Still a fun-packed game honestly speaking, but expect a 20-30% let-down, if you've played its predecessor.

P.S. Thank you to a mobyuser (forgot whom), who reminded me of a fatal error in this review.
