Beautiful Story that attracted me

The Good
There were so many things I loved about the game, The story line is DEFINITELY a great part of it. Basically bobbin threadbare is in a guild known as the weavers and the other weavers blame him on the problems they've had for 17 years since the day he was born and think that he is the problem to all, his stepmom hatchel defends him and was teaching him magic and the elders did not like it so they attempt to punish her with magic but there magic fails and they are all turned into swans, That leaves bobbin alone to search for them. The story is a great plot and brings a tear to my eye at times. I own the CD version so the graphics and voice are difinitely great, the voice acting is not anywhere close to cheap, it is very good acting and makes me think that the people in the game are real at times. I loved the music, the music was sort of dramatic sounding in my opinion.

The Bad
The game was very great but the story line at the end seemed kind of lacking. Where bobbin meets Chaos they don't tell much information about the ghost and why she wants to take over the world. I also thought the game was a bit short, it was nice length but I beat the game in about 1-2 hours. If the game was longer I would have enjoyed that.

The Bottom Line
I would definitely say this is a game to get. This is a very well done game and is an original classic. I grew up playing it and it was one of my favorite games along with monkeys island, ecos quest, space quest, kings quest, and out of this world. It is very unique from the other games as you don't have a bunch of items, instead you use a staff and use magic to react with items throughout the game. The magic is pretty interesting too as you use magical notes to cast a spell. I would DEFINITELY recommend the game though. I doubt it will happen but I hope they make a sequel or some kind of movie out of this game.
