    The game manages to hit every one of the requisite bases to satisfy the core audience that eats, breathes, and sleeps this stuff, yet it does so in a way that's creative and enticing.

    Whether you crave adventure in itself or seek a twist on the genre, The Experiment just about fits the bill.

    Now I realize that this review seems to have degenerated into a bitch-fest, but I just can't seem to find any redeeming values in this game.

But whatever this glitch is which does not let me get back my second mission... i hope it's fixed soon.… Expand
