I played this game years ago when it first came out. I was in the store when my buddy came up to me and asked if he could borrow $10 because he was a little short on getting this game. Apparently he read about it in a review and had to have it. Forward several months later I got to try out this title and man o man I wasted a good chunk of my life on it. It can be very daunting but it is rewarding nonetheless. Very worthy of your money.
