Wow.

I didn't know video games were capable of doing what this game managed to do. I mean, until playing this game Metal Gear Solid 2 was my favourite game of all time, but I am seriously reconsidering that after playing through this game. I don't think any game I've ever played has had a story that is as perfectly executed as this one. Scratch that, I can think of few stories in all of media that could match this one. It goes so well from joy to humour and then to despair and sadness. I have never felt this moved by a video game before, and I don't know if I ever will. The ending actually moved me to tears, which is something no other video game ever has managed to do. Thankfully the game also manages to deliver gameplay that feels smooth, entertaining and tight. And the soundtrack is simply incredible, with amazing instrumentation, progressiveness and melodies. I cannot recommend it enough. It's such a masterpiece that it is incredible in spite of this below average port. If you are interested in action games or storytelling in games at all, you need to get this one. It is that good.
