No wonder they cancelled this in the US. It relies solely on the story instead of gameplay. And who knows? Maybe the story is the best story line in the world, even beating the likes of Final Fantasy. I never got far enough to find out. It is that bad. I never got past the first level. I must have spent less than an hour on this before I gave up on it. Normally, I'll give any game a shot but this was something else. Perhaps the most interesting thing about it is the fact that it has two intervening stories. Wow.... we've been doing that for years with games and it never meant we had to get rid of any decent gameplay. It is awful, and anyone who was upset in the Us when they cancelled it should be glad.
