It may be difficult for people who got started gaming in the age of X-Box's and PSIII's to appreciate the greatness of this game because they don't have a context to put it in. In it's time it was a great story based adventure game of the sort that dominated the PC CD-ROM gaming market at the time. In fact it was one of the finest in its genre ever. It was really the evolution of a style of game that began in earnest with the Myst/Riven series. This game never tries to give you adrenaline rushes from waves of attacking enemies, but rather leads you calmly through fabulous envisioning of different places and figures of history.
