Is it old school?
Still the hidden paths are hard because of the fixed camera. I know it is a little thing, but I hate fighting with a camera mechanic. Even in battle you have to move to the unseen enemy which would be a problem if they weren't exactly in the same place everytime. Really same enemies same place.
The story is marred by the need to preach to me the whole game. Don't tell how I should feel about social issues. Seriously if you want to be mature don't please, and the history of Chopin was intresting I gusse even if it did break the flow of the game.
Would I recommend it. No. Unless you need a RPG fix. It was fun in parts if you don't get annoyed at the samethings I do it might be above average for you. For me it was below average.
