I got mine last week. So far, I only managed to spend about 2 hours playing it (between having to work my buttocks off and my roommate playing it every free moment). The graphics are amazing, I love the expressions of the characters. In the Fosaken Castle (or something like that - first stop after the initial island), you get to kill a few things (minimum of four), but without your sword.

After watching my roommate play, I can safely say that you get to kill a lot more things.
