For a more in-depth piece, I'd have to replay the game again. I'd love to, of course, but it'll come at another time.
Rather, I will just say that there is not currently a game in my mind that will entrance you with its combination of bizarre and awesome mess. It's a riveting ride through the whole thing and while you may finish with a confused feeling, part of that confusion is that you never want it to stop.
Whether this one is my favourite or 3, I'd recommend playing the whole series. 4 for the sake of finishing the story, 5 for the sake of gameplay and pretending the story isn't even happening.
