This is another instance where I disagree with the majority opinion that this game is good. The story is decent and the graphics are really good. The overall game design however, including puzzle design, controls, technical aspects, and especially the combat system, all could've used a lot more work or fundamental changes. Still, when this game came out, there weren't many other games like it, so that's probably why it's stayed as fondly remembered as it has been despite its many serious flaws.
