    It's a fun romp that often lacks originality.

    The game is also beautiful beyond measure, with water, weaving grass, snow, mud, and other terrain effects that, at least for now, are pretty much unequalled, and boast sound effects to match. [Oct 2002, p.68]

    The joy in this game comes from the environments. Krome Studios has done a fantastic job of making the different locals feel alive.
