What a game.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing this. It has great music, nice locale variety, good level and game design with creative moments to keep the experience fresh, solid combat and mechanics, good humor/self-awareness, and just enough to capture your attention with the characters.

The only downsides would be game length (felt like it was dragging toward the end), and a somewhat abrupt ending.

Aside from that, I really enjoyed practically everything else about it. An easy game of the year contender.
