Like the top and first reviewer said, this game is not for everyone. It is almost not a 'game' at all. Everything is in first person as 'you' are moving around the area talking to the very few people you encounter, some nice, some not. The visuals are STUNNING! and the music is just as beautiful. I played many hours at a time and while a lot of the game is crazy difficult (don't get me started on the D'ni numbers) it is still a lot of fun. Let me repeat: the puzzles in this game are HARD they are time consuming, and they seem not to make sense.
