Review

Good

• The large graphics used in the cutscenes look great. I like how, when you go inside houses, the exteriors match the terrain around them, only bigger.

Bad

• Searching is annoying for several reasons:
  • There is unique text for many different things, so you're encouraged to search them all.
  • The auto maneuvering makes it difficult to face objects. If you press in their direction too long, you will walk past it.
  • If there isn't anything of note, you have to read the same text saying you're wasting your time. Except, sometimes it looks like there is something there, and, sometimes the auto maneuvering makes you face away, so you end up getting this text a lot. There is no reason for it. If there isn't anything there, just don't do anything.
• There are a lot of juvenile sexual references at the expense of women.
