Storyline, characters, and the game world are all creative and a cut above typical RPGs. Game mechanics could use a bit of tweaking...in particular, the inventory system and the way the galaxy map is displayed/navigated could be improved. Graphics are solid. Efforts were clearly made to emphasize the bits and pieces that the eye focuses on naturally, for instance character faces. The game can be completed quite quickly for an RPG by ignoring side missions, because of the auto-leveling of enemies to approximate character level. Not sure this is a good or realistic (I know, it's a video game) thing...would have been nicer to have a lull in the plot to motivate the side missions a little more. You know, gathering of allies/resources. Anyway, these are all minor quibbles. If you enjoy a good RPG, you should, without delay, buy this game. A classic.

The best thing I liked about this game is the story line. It kept me wanting to know more as I played it. As a fan of fiction and anything to do with space exploration, I felt like this game truly got what I was looking for. The game allows you to have conversations with party members and allows you to make your own decisions that will later impact the story of the game, giving you the power to call the shots. The characters are also unique and what you do with them will play a large role in the story line. The aliens are extremely realistic and combat really puts you as the main character of this unique and interesting story.
I would not suggest this game to children since there is content intended for mature audiences only.
Other than that this game is recommend especially if you wish to play the sequel (which by the way takes this game to a whole other level).

This was one very impressive game great story lots of action lots to do great location and visuals A+ all the way, if you don't have one you gotta get one enough said.
