This game is a very cool game made specifically for adults and older teenagers.  Some complain of it's challenges, but it's an adult game, and the challenge is needed.  Being that I can blow through FFVIII, without an ounce of trouble, it's refreshing to see a game with a significant amount of challenge.  Now onto the technical aspects.  The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen.  The seamless blend of FMV and character graphics adds the all important atmosphere quotient to a game.  The Blade Runner style environments of the first disc are a refreshing change from the cutesy perky environments of other recent games.  From there the game buries deep into depravity, going to places I have never gone in games, that makes it worth the price by itself.  The only trouble I have with the game, is the incredibly long load times, after you die.  They are an extraordinary annoyance, but after getting back into the game, it just doesn't matter, and the endings are great too. Just an innovative, atmospheric, plot driven game made for adults.  I've been looking for one of these for a long time.
