Don't like this one at all. The story is pretty bland, the mechanics are all kind of shallow and weak, and it's really just an ARPG with an inordinate amount of walking. If the character progression was stronger, then I might've considered finishing it, but that was not the case and, entonces, I will leave this game uncompleted for now. Perhaps Gothic 2 is as good as people say this is?

There are some pretty dismal puzzles here-and-there, as well as two (out of four) chapters that somewhat miss the mark for me in terms of humor and tone, but it turns out that Years 2 and 4 are beautifully-written noir-ish masterpieces and I forgive all of this game's faults because of this. LOVED the ending, LOVED the art direction, the music; this one is one for the books right here.

A short, mean slice of action interactivity with all the pomposity of the Norman Jewison film it's trying to emulate and all the explosions and skating-tricks that I bought this game for. Can't wait to revisit it in a little while.
