    Great storyline and overall a very original game. I just have 2 complaints: first of all, it wasn't very interactive. It was just too easy to figure out what you were supposed to do there was too much instruction. A 3 year old could beat this game no problem. My second complaint is that it was too short. I beat it in a few hours. But still this game is worth playing and I suggest youGreat storyline and overall a very original game. I just have 2 complaints: first of all, it wasn't very interactive.

On one hand, in such an early PS2 lifetime it produced solid visuals, and pushed the storytelling aspect of games to a level still unseen to this day.

A good game, but nothing I would do more then rent.… Expand

    Largely ignored by the mainstream gaming press, this fabulous epic of a game will draw you in with both its warmth and its ever-increasing tale.

    It is a bit on the short side, but the upside is a fantastic plot that has numerous side stories to it that cannot all be experienced in a single play.
