One of the best(if not the best) CRPG ever- a classic!

The Good
A post-nuclear role-playing game!!! Well this is is almost perfect in my opinion. it's oozes style! First of all the story is original! with some of the best ending I have ever seen. The atmosphere in this game is extraordinary. also the graphics while outdated (VERY outdated) are still pleasant to the eye. CGI movies are just GREAT (even for today standards). But the main thing that makes this game fantastic is the gameplay- the gameplay is pure drug! i couldn't stop playing until i finished it! you have multiple endings (depends on your actions) - you can play a good guy and a bad guy(and it will change your KARMA). Interface is very easy to use. Good tactical combat system. Great black humor!!! The soundtrack is highly ambient and spooky. lots of conversations to do. and there's lots of gore(for all of the gore fans- you can do very messy things to human bodies!) and there aren't any goblins or orcs. it's definitely one of the most detailed CRPG yet.



The Bad
well not much but... Interaction with NPCs is a bit disappointing. low resolution (640X480). and tons of bugs! you must download the patch before playing!

The Bottom Line
Highly recommended CLASSIC. if you enjoy RPGs just get it. Buy it, kill for it, just get it.
