This sounds to me like a perfectly correct review, even though I haven't played the game yet (though I've had my eye on it for a long time). It's by Yuke's, who, from my experience (the two Berserk games, on DC and PS2), does very careful anime/manga adaptions. Both Berserk games are very faithful to the source material and very well-designed, fun games, and, minor gripes aside, the only reason I'd give four stars to both of them is that there's nothing truly exceptional about them. So that's why I say that the review sounds to me about right.
