Falls short on creating emotional attachment to any characters and the ending was not satisfying
Maybe the game wasn't fun to me because I had chosen to be a female goody-two-shoes hero that later became as huge as Andre the giant (Those pies sure are fattening! Make sure you eat celery). However I was able to be attractive to all towns people.
Story is very important in RPGs, It helps you feel your characters. Most of the dialogue and voice acting was mundane and lacked character emotions. With the exception of Hammer's humor, and maybe Reaver's conceited behavior.
Another thing that didn't make the game fun was the fighting system. I could careless about upgrading all other abilities except for time control, shock, brutal styles, physique, and toughness. Just how would you collect those disappearing experience orbs in time while enemies rush to attack you?
Just for kicks I had my female hero marry a whore and then proceeded to have unprotected sex with her. Well, good thing I only borrowed this game, it would be a waste of my sixty bucks! But hey don't take my word for it, go rent game and play it for yourself, you might find something in it addictive and fun. :]
I recommend this game as a rental only!
