Ok, this game doesn't have the best graphics ever - even for its time. But the music is great, you feel totally inside the game, the history is amazingly well written and it could happen in NY or Dallas, or whatever. It's a great "nowadays" RPG - instead of the same old same old. Sure, it feels great to kill some dragons, find that fire sword or that ice shield, or even do a little space travel - but this game is so damn common that makes you think: "Well, maybe it could really happen here in my town". The characters are great, the plot is funny and very intelligent. You will see some memorable moments, meet awesome enemies and be sucked into the game. Plus, there are a lot of laughs (real good ones). If you like clever humor, this is your game. It is a haunting game, you will not forget it - I am sure. Go ahead, play it - you won't regret it!
