Good review. I had heard the game didn't live up to the visuals. Nice to have it confirmed. Might be something worth watching videos of.

Pretty good review, if a bit short. I didn't quite get what the gameplay was about out of it, so the review was more like a warning to not play it, but still good. lol

I do totally agree that cutscenes should not constantly take you out of the game though. When a cutscene happens when you are just about to do something, much like a random battle in an RPG, it's really annoying. Valve had the right idea with Half Life 2 never taking control away from you besides the intro and ending.

I didn't mention it in the review, but the game is short. Short game = Short review
