Oh God...Oh God the controls. *sob*

I played for all of 15 minutes. I couldn't log out fast enough.

I didn't even manage to kill anything because I couldn't figure out how to actually fight something. I can't even properly review this game because I couldn't even figure out how anything worked with all the insane and confusing menus. I had a hard enough time just trying to move around the city.

I tried this game back in 2002 and I recently wondered if anything had changed. Maybe the graphics or even some fundamental mechanics (I had some hope). I was very disappointed to find out that nothing at all had changed. There is still the strange controls that never feel intuitive or even sensical. Maybe it does with a PS2 controller, but not with a keyboard and mouse.

When I did finally manage to figure out how to move out of the main city I started in, I tried to engage in battle to quickly find out that no one had even given a hint of how to go through combat. When I tried to look for help in their help menu, I was rather unsurprised (at this point) to find that any useful information apparently was not included in my 14 day free trial.

Save yourself a lot of frustration and confusion and possibly even some tears by playing something-ANYTHING else!
