Ninja Blade (Xbox 360)

I played the Ninja Blade demo for Xbox 360, and I've decided this is one of those cases where the demo isn't enough for me to decide whether or not to buy this game.

I mean, I've been looking forward to it -- this is From Software, and the makers of my beloved Otogi franchise.

And Ninja Blade is _very_ slick, and the standard combat would probably keep me well-engaged.

On the other hand, I hate these so-called quick-time events in video games. Why interrupt a gorgeous gameplay moment or cinematic with these annoying QT button presses that steal my eyes from what's happening onscreen?

So, if I get to it, I'll borrow or rent this title before deciding whether to buy or pass.

I need more info.
