The music, the mood, the setting and plot are all, IMO, the best that a computer game could possibly be. >
Depending on your definition of 'rpg' there are a few games that superior hands down. 1. Darklands 2. Chrono Trigger 3. Final Fantasy II (4 in Japan) 4. Final Fantasy III (6 in Japan) 5. Betrayal at Krondor To name a 'few'. > I just wish the judge who declared that video games have no value could have played this instead of just Doom and a couple of other similar games, he might have at least seen what can be done with the medium. It really is like an interactive novel, and well worth the 10 bucks and 50 to 80 hours it takes to complete. > > Anyone else ever played it? >
