This is truly the definitive Computer Role-Playing game of its time, there is so much to do, you can't do it all in one run, and the story is wonderful, and complex, it begins simply enough, you wake up in the mourge, on an operating table, with a talking skull named Morte, you make your way out of there, and begin trying to discover who you are, if you'r familiar with the Baldur's Gate, or Icewind Dale series, then you will be instantly familiar with the battle system, for those of you who aren't, battle consists of selecting a character and giving them an action in real time, you can pause the action, to micro-manage your party without the pressure of trying to fend off enemies at the same time, there are three classes to choose from, and you can usually switch between any of the three once you unlock them, the three classes are fighter, thief, and mage, the story takes place in the City of Sigil, a Planar City, also known as the City of Doors, because of its reputation for having a portal to anywhere. The games spell animations are breath-taking, and the music of the game fits the game well, even if you don't agree with my review through most of the game, once you get closer to the end of the game, you will, The Ending that I Earned, on my one, and only play-through was un-forgottable, and thinking of the Planescape Torment only brings fond memories to mind, if you like PC Games, at all, then I strongly urge you to seek out a copy of Planescape:Torment and give it a go, I promise it will be one of the greatest games you have ever played.
