Best game you've never played!
It is a great engine combining turn-based combat, and a more traditional RPG format. You must choose recruits, skills, and equipment carefully in order to get the most of the characters. Also, it can be difficult to get all of you recruits to around the same level (which is really needed at the end) so don't shy away from the random encounters while traveling.
My only complaint is that the ending leaves it open for a sequel that has not happened yet (Hint to LucasArts).
