I bought it when it first came out in 2000 (I still have the original copy in its large box and manual!). The game left me a bit disappointed because of the ending but overall the experience was great. It's not a perfect game because a couple of flaws. The story's great, I'm pretty impressed with the graphics, especially on models. They look incredible (be sure to turn the frame desire to lowest in video option, you'll get better overall graphics especially on models, you won't lose the performance) and the environments are impressive, well mostly but it's still huge and varied, especially later in the game. The camera work isn’t always perfect. The control can be a bit awkward due to lack of tutorials. The puzzles can be uninspired. If you're willing to bypass some flaws and appreciate the piece of art by Shiny, you’ll enjoy this underrated game. Possessing bodies never get old. Highly recommended.
(Sorry for some grammar errors, English is my second language)
I'm confused, I found your review informative, but if the game has several flaws, it hardly deserves a 5 star rating.
I finally got this game to run correctly for the first time today, and I have to say that I am not disappointed. Shiny was a great developer, and I really miss their odd, surreal style that they put in their games like MDK or Earthworm Jim.
Messiah isn't quite as good as MDK or Earthworm Jim, but it's still terrific. I really like the dark atmosphere it portrays, as well as decent music and story. It doesn't control quite as well as MDK, but for the six bucks this game cost me, it was completely worth it.
Hey Tombert
Great to see you have got this awesome game up and running.
As you may be aware, heaps of peeps seem to be having trouble.
Can you walk us through how you got it to play?
