Okay, review time:
This map, 'The Lone Panther, has a lot of unwarranted acclaim. In this series, the story is set 25 years after Sect of the Holy Mother. The lead character begins to tell his story to his sister -- who is also his lover, wtf? -- before they're rudely interrupted by a guard who ends visiting hours. I actually liked that idea, the whole 'storyteller' aspect goes down well, and the guard is quite a good plot device to split the Cinematic into episodes.
The 'voice acting', if you really feel the need to call it that, was the biggest let down to me. The main character kept the same static voice throughout the show, whilst the other actors, once again, I wouldn't call them that, were robotic and, to a degree, pathetic. They didn't even resemble humans (were they even humans?) nor did they portray any amount of emotion. The Bounty target actually made me want to break my computer, he was on par to, if not worse, the main characters voice acting.
Another set back was the main characters model. His hood disappeared into his shoulders several times which just didn't look real, interesting or good. The actions that the characters performed were repeated to the extent that you could tell what was about to happen next, and sometimes the actions didn't even fit the character model. Once again, I feel like pointing out the Necromancer; his skin was mirrored from left to right, and it just didn't look interesting at all.
However, the storyline was, as is usually the case with CMarket Productions, interesting enough to keep you waiting for the next episode. Although parts were lacking in rich story content, it was at a standardized level.
All in all, this Cinematic is better than most, but it certainly isn't the next Titanic.
3/5.
A note for fanboys; bitch to me on my profile. I don't really care what you have to say about my review, nor will I change it in the slightest way, shape or form. Keep voting this map 5/5 all you want, you're just lying to yourself to keep with the current fad.
Be original, be smart and actually review things before you jump on a bangwagon.
