My favorite game ever.
Where do you start. The premise story and plot are almost instantly addictive as you traverse the land of the dead looking to pay pennence for whatever sins you have commited in life. The story will take you from location to location, each beautifull, unique and engrossing.
What truly drives this story and makes you want to continue playing is the story but primarily the characters. You really care about these characters. They are intellegent and 3-dimensional, with motivations and weeknes's. Even the secondary characters are really well thought out and you will find yourself either loving or hating them. The style of the game also helps tremendously with this. It is again totally unique, resembing a film-noir movie with mayan artistic influences. You have never seen anything like this before and it is doubtfull you will ever see anythign like this again.
The music is also top notch, i personally downloaded the soundtrack just to listen to it.
The humor of this game is also terrific. It does not hit you over head with it. It makes playing the game that much more enjoyable.
I am sorry I am gushing but its hard not to when talking about such an endearing and memorable game.
At the end i were sad you were not going to see anymore of these characters, even though the ending was very satisfactory. Anyway, if you like adventure games this is a must-have game for your collection. Even if you don't it is still worth a try.
