Great Game, You Get A Lot Of Choice With How To Do Things, The Weapons Are Good, The Characters Are Very Good, Plots Fantastic. Now My only complaint is that I Did The Harvest Every L.S In The Game Thing, And The Ending Cutsene really Confused Me Honestly. Greed? Power? What??? Asides From That, I Enjoyed It, I See Why It Gets It Praise To This Day.
