My skills of not knowing what the story is in games is getting so much better. I had so little clue on this one that I skipped the ending as it played.
My fave part was looking at the minimap rather than the main bit of the screen as I 'filled in' the map. Worst part was the game not telling me how much of the map I'd 'filled in'.
Was it pretty? Yep, it certainly was but I'm not sure that makes up for the lack of gameplay and frustrating controls. Maybe it does, I dunno, we all like the pretty things.
