As the review says, it does get off to a slow start... but this is in my top 3 games of all time!

I just love love love this game. Read the Gamespot review. It's bang on. One thing they neglected to mention is the camera angles in the third person perspective. No, the camera doesn't make problems in playing the game... I get seasick with all the swooping and wooshing around during battles though... It might have been better to just zoom gently in and out, rather than all the switching angles... but the better to see the great character / battle animations with, my dear.

This game is inexpensive just about anywhere. I think I saw it in a "jewel case only" version for $15 bux at Staples. That cutscene where Democratus, Boots, Paco and Stilleto are in the big purple spaceship... priceless.

Get it, and stick with it. You won't be sorry.

I am having some performance issues that I hopefully can resolve, because running a game published in 2001 on a machine purchased in 2004 and only being able to run at 640 x 480 is a bit of a let down.
