The game is ok it's not as good as later games but the combat is good and the music is in my opinion one of the best parts in addition to the former the world is also large and filled to the brim with extra activites and quests. Ok now that i've gotten the good out of the way lets talk about the bad the story is meh the voices of characters sound flat and boring and not to mention that some of the mechanics are just plain terrible. Would i recommend this game? yes not because it's good but simply put the game for it's time was revolutionary in my opinion and should be played so you can understand the story for the later games.
