Everything in The Warrior's Code looks good. The cut scenes are nice, as are the story cinematics played out in the game's engine. What blew me away was the level of detail in the little things throughout the game. Walking through water sends ripples across the surface... Water falling down from above sprays into a thousand particles... Just equipping items, especially magical items, can create different visual effects in the game. I loved seeing how different equipment looked on my character, and while some might complain that the view on the field of battle is a little far away, it's a tradeoff for being able to see more of your surroundings.
Orchestral strings and rousing music that would fit well into any movie starring Russell Crowe in a toga, and great sound effects during battle from monsters and your character are what you'll find here. I definitely reached for the volume dial on those monster/character sounds, but the music never got old. The Warrior's Code is immersive, and part of the way you'll be sucked into things is through the great soundtrack and "What's around the corner?" visuals.
