......that hasn't already been said a million times by a million people. The game is that good , it has without question earned it's place among the top 2 or 3 all time RPG's to date. I played many before and hundreds since and this is the only game that had me invested enough in a character and a story line that when that character died I dropped my controller in shock and a small tear may have found it's way down my cheek. It's a game that , especially at the time of it's release was just that good. If you have had enough interest you found yourself already at this page and remarkably reading my humble review than all I can tell you is....STOP READING NOW AND GO BUY IT.......it is just that damn good. Beware on price though. An original black label version can top $100 in auctions if collecting is your thing , avoid the scammer's asking hundred's. Depending on current market $85 to $125 are about right for the black label one's. If you just want to play it and collecting isn't for you the greatest hits version is more reasonable at $25 to $40 , it's the same game either way and the greatest hits one is a steal in terms of entertainment value.
