Really pleasant, really enjoyable. The thing that really stands out about this game (which, oddly, is also the thing that undermines it to some extent) is how SMOOTH it is. The combat feels so intuitive and fun--it's simple in a really enjoyable way. The downside, in fact, is that it's SO smooth, SO streamlined, that it just feels too easy. There's not much challenge to it, and there are no rough edges to provide any texture to the whole thing.
