Well deserving of most of the praise it receives. Is that hype a little overblown? Undoubtedly. But it's not hard to see how revolutionary this was and why it changed the landscape of games when it first released.

And today, it's still immensely playable. The presentation is going to be the biggest point of contention for some people but I think those old graphics are a charm point if anything.

The story is great and while storytelling in games has evolved a lot since, I think that this story is still told very well and the cast is a fun and likable bunch. Some of them definitely needed a bit more development, but what's there is still great.
