Rating:9.1
Taken in its "totalitarianism" (with thanks to Pat Healy), it might be the best RPG I have ever played...

I give up! Sick of dying.
Okay, so that may sound like I'm whinging... that's because I am! I really enjoyed this game; I enjoyed it so much I died and tried again nearly thirty times. Was it just me? Maybe. Either way... I could not survive thro... Read Full Review

Long, Hard, Packed with greatness and Lasts all night long.
Best in the series without a doubt. Entire game is great, pretty much everything about it is great. There are some problems sure, but it is still one of the greatest game experiences ever. They even brought back Bela. ... Read Full Review
