In my opinion this is the best game ever made and if anyone else says otherwise they will need a good reason for me to see there point. I played this game at my friends house all the time, but he could never get past the first boss (the scorpian) about 10mins into the game....... ¬¬ .....but whne i came over i breezed through it. I loved the game at that point because of the great fighting system and the originality of it at the time. But i did not actually buy the game till I found it in a shop in Platinum meaning it only cost £20!! i bought it and hve been obbsesed since. Now that i have played teh game through many times i feel that the reason it is unbeatable is because the storyline is amazing even for a book and groundbreaking for a game. its not often that a game has a great story line, but this one certanly does and that is why I recomend that you buy this game and try to withstand the aged graphics and get into the story. Its for those of us who like a game that means something and has had careful thoguht put into it. Not just the blow everything up genre of recent years.
