Title: Boring 50 Hour Movie
Product review: I believe calling this a "game" is a misnomer as there is very little gameplay to speak of. What gameplay is there consists of the following: walk around, buy equipment, fight repitive tedious menu-based battles that have little to no strategy behind them, and finally watch cut scenes. I suppose you could call it a partially interactive movie but thats about it.Despite the somewhat interesting story and well designed characters I still can't find a reason to play this. But if I want intersting stories and characters sans interactivity I'd much rather watch a movie.Some people enjoy "games" like Final Fantasy but I certainly don't. If you want a role playing game that actually involves *gasp* role playing and gameplay I highly recommend Fallout 1/2 and Planescape: Torment. Both games allow you to create your own solutions to problems based upon your playing style, possess interesting characters and stories, and have fun challenging strategic combat.
