    Gotta admit, too... I like the "impromptu" style in these older reviews. Not so scripted and stale (seems they just read from the printed version of the review these days). Makes for a much more "honest" review. Think about moving back to this style, rather than trying to impress us with your constant references to Roget's for adjectives to describe game mechanics. Not meant as a hack... just an opinion.

    This game was fantastic. It had beautiful music and scenery and well-rounded characters. The guns were awesome and really unique. The storyline was one of the best ever. Period.

    But yeah this reviewer is really boring. Try having some emotion.

    It's a great game once you get into it. No matter what build is picked the feeling of growth is constantly present, and to me, that is only a rare game when you can acually feel yourself grow more powerful in your chosen areas... besides i love traping dead spirits above thier bodies lol

    Nice review. I don't agree with the guns things. It is actually tough for the first few hours if you choose guns but once you get going they're great. I had the most fun in arcanum using guns.
