Beautiful date without a happy ending.

This game is Beautiful. It is just lacking immersion in game play. This game suffered from mediocre voice acting that also was difficult to hear at times. Secondly, the cut scenes were not optimized for a HD screen. The scenes looked grainy because of it.

The game takes place on a 2D plain in a 3D backdrop. There were times NPCs ran into the back ground, or magically appeared in places that it took you some effort to get to. This begged the question, "Why couldn't I have just gone with you?" That took me out of the game play experience

I think it is priced high and $15 and should be $10-12. Five more dollars could have gotten me a 50 + hour Xbox greatest hits game of the year edition I have been wanting to play.

I was really looking forward to this game when I saw it at E3 this year. In all this game is a good first for Tequila Works, and I only see them getting better.
