Everyone who hates this game never played it. Sure, there are a lot of long cutscenes in the game, but the amount of time you spend playing the game dwarfs that in comparison. It's a very relaxing game, and that's where it shines the best. I don't even mind that the driving is frustrating at first, since I not only got used to it and eventually was able to use it effectively, but I actually enjoyed the walking aspects of the game a lot. The worst parts of the game are the combat sections, but I didn't think they were as bad as some others said they were. I thought they weren't good, but it didn't completely ruin the experience of the game for me.
