Metal Gear Rising Revengeance preview (The X Button)

The X Button writes: "Initially starting in a virtual reality style training exercise the controls are laid out reasonably well. Raiden is given a light and hard attack (most God of War players would be right at home here). What this game does is include the new 'Blade Mode' where the gameplay goes superslow and allows Raiden to define where he wants to slice, and you can certainly slice with precision and abandon, cutting up objects, enemies, most things to be fair, into hundreds of tiny pieces. More impressively, if things such as grenades are thrown at you, you can enter Blade Mode and literally slice the grenade out of the air. It's a very cool feature in implementation, graphics and mechanics."
