Asura's Wrath looks cool. VERY scripted and linear, but I'm ok with that. That's allowed. I'm REALLY digging the sci-fi/hindu art, it's kina like Digital Devil Saga with that mix.
I'm fine with a game being linear as long as the game does not remind you how corralled it is every 2 seconds. A good example would be HL2, and a bad one BF3 Single Player.
