The 360 degree looking around was awesome too. I agree about the graphics, but the full game feels unbearably SLOW! And I'm running on a 220MHz G3! It's also a memory hog. I've already allocated 64MB of RAM to it, plus I have a Rage Pro card. Feels VERY sluggish. Also, gameplay is very linear. You feel you have no choice but to go along with whatever the designers have come up with. Sudden death is also very common. No warning whatsoever. Good points: gorgeous graphics. Absorbing storyline. VERY good characterisation of different NPCs.
