By now this game is $20. This will be one of your best purchases for the system. Although I would not put it at a 10, I can say this is a top 10 on PS2. The graphics are ok, but the imagination is fantastic. I have never played anything like this before. It felt like Zelda for an older generation. I hope they make a sequel and improve on what they started.

I'm not sure why the creators went this way, but as your exploring there is no music. My guess is that they wanted a more realistic feel. I started to get bored sometimes from running around. Of course once you find a monster all hell breaks loose. You can tell that a lot of time was spent on this game.
