So sorry to double-post, but I wasn't exactly done with my above mini-review, I just had to leave for something. Anyway...

About what Vic said regarding the camera being annoying...that's a major issue right there. I must've fallen at least a zillion times during the final boss battle (and believe me, it's NOT fun climbing up that giant) thanks to the stupid camera angles while trying to jump. I mean, it's not so bad, but when you're already pretty confused and worried to death about your grip meter, it's not fun having to stress about "Ooh, can I make that jump even though the camera decides to swerve right all of a sudden" and more.

Other than the camera and the ending, the game really is fantastic. My favorite battle is the thirteenth one....wow. It was exhilarating and also really fun! My LEAST favorite would have to be fifth or the sixth one (I forget which...the one underwater). Okay, that battle...freaked the bejeesus out of me. I know it's fake...I know it's a game...but holy cow, the visuals were so realistic and the damn water was so murky, seeing that huge thing under there really gave me the heebie-jeebies. I literally froze...I just stood near the shore for about two minutes because I was too scared to continue....and that damn voice comes on and tells me what to do, I know what to do, but it's just too damn scary to do so! Ugh..*shivers*

I am looking forward to doing the extra modes.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this funny glitch that occurred in my game one time when I was playing. I somehow got separated from Agro (the horse) one time and I couldn't find him even though I kept whistling and whistling. Finally, in the forest to the southwest, I found him...fallen over in midair. In some battles, when Agro gets attacked, he would fall over like any horse. Well, somehow, Agro fell over but I think he was also leaping from a rock at the same time....so you get a frozen-in-midair-lying-on-his-side-Agro. It's hilarious but disturbing...I've taken pictures, I just have to find the time to upload them.
