Just an incredible game for its time. One of the best ever.

The 1st time I played this game, I got it as a rental. I fell in love with it almost instantly and saved my game hoping to continue at a later time. The only problem was that the saved game feature was broken on the rental cartridge so if you turned off the power it erased all your progress. I Then took it upon myself to try and beat the game over a long weekend from school without stopping. (turning off the power that is). In one weekend I made it most of the way through chapter 5... but it was just to much of a task to undertake.
Anyway about a year later I got a copy of this game of my own and played all the way thru it. To date I have cleared this game multiple times and am still obsessed with the gameplay. The story, graphics and gameplay are so innovative and fun that you forget the minor flaws (AI comes to mind). One of the best games I've ever played and still has a place in my heart.
