This game has a very interesting story and premise, but don’t expect the enjoyable gameplay of the latter games. In this game you are stuck with a boring turn-based battle system. If you like turn-based battles though there is probably no reason not to get this game.
This game was probably one of the greatest games of all time when it was released, it certainly had the greatest video game story of all time when it was released. While it’s story is probably still up there, the game play has aged horribly. The controls are extremely obtuse and game in general is very confusing. It was probably not considered so at the time of the release, but it is by today’s standards. This is a game that is very hard to get into. Instead of just having an action button, they opted to have and “open” button, a “talk” button and so on.
This is a great game, which is best described as an action-adventure/stealth game. It is an action-adventure in the Zelda vein. The unique aspects of this game include the multiple ways one can get past certain areas and the AI partners whom work well and are put to good use in this game. The game has great puzzles and story as well. In this game you will fight aliens, solve puzzles, sneak past aliens, take pictures of enemy intel, take pictures of endangered species, and explore a rich (though admittedly not vast) world. The only flaw in this game is that for the type of game this is, it is somewhat short.
