I take it back, the talking horse idea is done ok, but the gameplay on the horse is kind of.. hokey and linear, its like the pegasus in GoW, but not as good. If they are going to bite off that, then do it just as good, or better.
The Gabriel fighting looks great, and I like how the whip can be seen as it goes through an enemy, but I dont like the whoosh of the whip..it looks plain or just like a white blur. Again, do it as good as the blades in GoW or the cross in Dantes Inferno. Those at least LOOKED like you were weilding something truly magical and otherworldy, that could fuck shit up..
