In the end, the game design and story IS after all quite appealing, however the gameplay is not so.
It's definitely not for the die-hard hardcore PoP fans but it's a game thats based more on good story development and a more cliche set of characters that would probably fit alright in a movie. One thing I've never doubted about the game is the design. It does look appealing but I will still stick to my case on the gameplay, which isn't really good.
So a matter of fact, this review goes to the design and the great concept art of the game. But only seeing it differently would change your mind. Don't be fooled by gameplay though. Hardcore gamers beware.
