The game to me is a near-miss. It had all the tools and parts of a masterpiece but as the story goes, the budget ran out and they had to basically race to end the game which gave us that insanely uneven Disc 2.

Still, the ambition on display was wonderful and I will gladly play near-misses that aim so high versus other games that are more polished but have less interesting things to say or try.

Take care all.
