Get the game...immediatly
You deserve to play one of the deepest (if not the deepest) plots ever created for a videogame. If you like philosophy, religion and such there is no better game. DO yourself a favor and enjoy the hell out of this gameNo and or buts just get the darn game!
For me it had the slowest begining of all time. The game was hyped for me so I didnt want to like it. I was so bored with everything until near the end of disc 1. Then they made me rethink all the boring things that happend and I was like "Holy smoke stacks...this game rocks". Granted as mentioned before the game has its quirks. The characters are presented in a very trite manner but they actually have alot of depth because one of the games greatest redeeming qualities. And that is simply the game is very very long. Very long which it makes it oddles of fun to play. The music is incredible and the final boss is a blast. It has one of the most frustrating locations of all time (tower of babal anyone?) and a ver unique overview/control scheme (camera perspective and such) but most of all the coolest part about the game...is simply this....
You can jump OUTSIDE battle!!! I know right!? Your gonna buy the game now (duh) which is no suprise so I cant wait to see what you think!
