Music, characters, interesting plot, exploration element, different types of controls, fps/arcade/3rd person RPG. I see people complaining about elements like plot, controls and such, but I enjoyed it great deal and continue to do. Only the save game system I liked not, because it doesn't let you to save infinitely, you have to gather some "rings" to be able to save. Expand

I finished it multiple times on PC. The story is great and very immersive. It's an open world, with a lot to discover about Omikron's culture, politics, etc. It has a mix of third-person investigation-type game, with some first-person shooter phases that are very pleasant to play, and some (a bit less pleasant) side-view fighting phases. The only two negative things I find in this game is the controls during fighting scenes, and the fact that the final boss is pretty hard to beat. Expand

    This is not a game... it's an experience. If you'll play this, you won't ever forget this. I mean it in a good way and a bad way. Let's talkThis is not a game... it's an experience. If you'll play this, you won't ever forget this. I mean it in a good way and a bad way. Let's talk about good stuff... the soundtrack is magical, the graphics are old, but that is expected from a 1999 game, but the design is just amazing. Everything looks surreal and out of place... at least to me and I love it. Also David Bowie is in the game. He might be dead in the real world, but he's alive and well in Omikron, so that's that. The story makes no sense and the gameplay is horrid... it actually causes pain. Especially the fights with bosses... what an atrocity. To me this is a good example of a wasted potential. Here's a game that had a living city full of people and cars in 3D long before GTA 3 with amazing art style and atmosphere, but thanks to ridiculous plot and awful gameplay it all falls short and becomes a big mess... this is a game that everyone should try out and see for themselves if it's good or not. I'm a big fan of the atmosphere of this game, so I won't rate it bad, because for the most of the time I had fun, but I won't forget the frustration that this game caused me and lack of rationality in certain parts of the game. Play it yourself motherhugger. Pickens approves! Expand

    Quantic Dream siempre los considere unos genios de la aventura convencional, acá con su primera obra nos demuestran lo que años mas adelanteQuantic Dream siempre los considere unos genios de la aventura convencional, acá con su primera obra nos demuestran lo que años mas adelante consolidaron. una majestuosa aventura, llena de giros y puzles, acá se mezclan muchos estilos de juegos, desde acción, lucha, sigilo, puzles y aventuras graficas en un juego muy bien hecho, quizás gráficamente ha envejecido muy mal y la música es algo floja. pero es un juego bastante ambicioso y digno de pasarse una vez en la vida.
