Oh, another fun game :) Mouse gestures for spellcasting give it an interesting twist. I personally found it a little hard to adapt to at first (especially since there's a move mode and a pointer mode), but YMMV. Still, it's fresh and somehow it seems "right" (no single-button mashing [in fact, you can hotkey a spell, but for the next use only - tedious], instead you really have to *do* something). I'm not sure how the graphics hold up today (it's been a while), but I guess "fair", since it wasn't overwhelming to begin with. Which, let's face it, is not the important issue. Story-wise I'd say Arx is unexceptional RPG fare (as mentioned before, this, too, is not necessarily a bad thing) with some puzzles, but quite a linear plot. Be aware that Arx is completely underground, so you're in for quite a dungeon crawl :)
