The game itself is actually pretty decent. Fights are entertaining, if repetitive, and the storyline is enjoyable. If I were rating it based solely on those things, I'd give it four stars. Sadly, many folks will never get to see the end of the story. Because the game suffers from so many showstopper bugs...it just stops working on some machines, for unknown reasons, and nothing can be done to get it working again (not even re-installing a clean copy). Other times you hit a spot where just opening the nav map will CTD. It's almost like they wrote the bloody thing with self-modifying code, so that any problem at all makes it unrecoverable. I played it several years ago, and enjoyed it. Been trying to play it again on two different machines (the first one decided to stop working about 20% of the way through), only to keep running into issue after issue. Unless the game you actually want to play is, "How do I keep this running", I can't recommend this one.
