Out of This World

The Good
I have to say the cutscenes in this game are some of the most stunning for the time period. The fact that almost all of Lester's deaths have their own cutscenes is novel on its own. (I love when the beast pops down in front of you in level 1...) The story is original. I love the challenge this game presents. The lack of text and dialogue thickens your imaginative room. The action goes from freakishly lonesome to interactive with other-worldly inhabitants. Unlimited continues is a dream come true, cuz the difficulty is perfect enough to be a challenge but not a headache. You're gonna love the intro, too. Another of my top 10 favorites of all time.

The Bad
Honestly, I've been criticized by all of my friends for being too forgiving, or too lenient. But all I can find wrong with this game are some minor gaming bugs (i.e. you THINK your foot touched that ledge or that you jumped far enough, but you didn't).

The Bottom Line
You HAVE to play this game. There oughta be a law that everyone in the world has to play this to pass high school (in Dr. Phil voice). One Love.

The Good
I loved this game so much I played it 6 times in a row. The alien who befriends you was such a wonderful feature that I am amazed that very few other games have picked up on this concept.

I have played many games since PONG and Asteroids first came out. This one has never been beat. Half-Life (not HL2, that major disappointment) and Unreal came close but not one of them ever matched the absolute sorrow and disappointment at the end of this game. The game is so good that the ending was ... I played it 6 times in a row.

The Bad
I did not like nothing about this game. It was, is, and will (most likely) always be the best game ever.

The Bottom Line
The game is an action adventure that puts you and your alien buddy through several scenarios: FPS, Traps, and Puzzles.
