Honestly, I couldn't get enough of this game when I first bought it. It was dark, gritty - adult; which is something the games I was playing at the time weren't. It had a unique combat system, a fantastic magic system and the story, what a tale. If I hadn't lost my CDs (and access to a PC) I would still be playing this game. Yes, it's that good. Do yourself a favour, skip the slice of pizza at lunch and buy this game. It is exponentially more rewarding, and you will thank me and every other reviewer out there. Cheers, Chris
