Good impression bad game play

Well, the game judge by its own time. It offer pretty good graphic judge by its own time, However, the definition of good graphic only limit to your character design, that his body structure are very well made. However, other NPC or monster looks like they are done with much lower resolution, and look very edgy. Hence the graphic looks a bit uneven with your character looks sharp while thing around him look very rough. It is such a shame that they didn't take the effort into bigger picture/

The sound, what can I say, there is hardly any change of music.
So Boooo-ring...

The subtite, well, I not a English major myself, and I consider my Enligh pretty poor. Still I get to see alot of spelling mistakes or sentence error.

mini-map?
There is no mini-map. This really hurts the game alot becasue some areas are composed of confusing maze. Hence, I keep lost in the same underground cave for hours.. keep walking and looking for wy out, It makes me really dizzy and want to puke. (Seriouly, I not joking).

Action or RPG?
well, the game play like action game, but it allow you to level up like rpg. But the only problem is that it has limited monster. That once you slay them, they just drop dead on the floor. And when you restart the game again, there won't be any monster in the area . Plus their body won't disappear either. Hence, it feel rather lonely when you revisit place without any emeny.

For control, I use key board and mouse, it is very fluent like standard action rpg. the control works better than Gothic 2 or blood omen 2.

Plot
I didn't finish the whole game. I almost finished the first act of the game. But the plot is nothing excited about it. I stop the game becasue I got headach and feel want to puke physcially after spending hours looking for a way out without a mini-map.
