I just could not bring myself to finish this game. The combat was some of the best of the series, but I had no interest in whatever I was doing. Nocturne bounced you from place to place, with new locations being perfectly paced. SMTV keeps you in broader, more open maps that are ultimately kinda boring. The clunky movement, lack of detailed maps, and odd map design all work to make this game feel more padded than it really should be. Maybe I'll come back around to it eventually, but I just couldn't bring myself to finish it now.
