I bought this game in 1999, when it was first released in germany. It had a very promising beginning, but didn't run smoothly enough on my AMD K2-350 MHz to play well.
In 2002, after working through Neverwinter Night's campaign, I gave it another try. WOW!
While you have to get used to the voxel grahics at first, I still remember my impression of how immersing this game was. A thrilling story with its twists and surprises, a bitter, laconic hero (in german with the synchro voice of Bruce Willis, perfect!), a gameworld to roam and wonder, and after all this time still one of my favourite soundtracks.
In comparison, mEss Effect, which I tried some weeks ago, is just boring.
