This was the first time I ever played this game (2010) and by todays standards its still a good game. It plays a lot like a Knights of the Old Repulic or Jedi Academy, but not quite as complex as far as inventory goes, and battles are more like FPS real time, even though its 3rd person.
I honestly found it to be a bit boring for long parts ... especially with all the travelling back and forth you have to do, and the save system is frustrating and buggy (you only have 8 save slots, and the names dont always update when you save over an old slot)
Because of the long time it takes to walk anywhere (and you can't take your twon-ha everywhere you'd like) I found I lost interest in the side-quests ... 20 minutes of my time to just help someone out and maybe get a medikit for the trouble, just didn't seem worth it. Thus I only got a 40% score for bonus quests.
The graphics would have been amazing at the time, especially the water effects, and hold up well today, but are rather pixellated. Still, it far outshines any 3D games of the time which all felt like you were playing in paper-cutout world. The voxel engine gives it a feeling of richness and complexity that early 3D games just couldn't create.
The story was interesting enough ... actually above average for a computer game, and the voice acting was really good ... considering how pathetic most voice acting in games was.
IMO, if you're looking for a Sierra type adventure ... this is nothing like that. But if you like action adventures like KOTOR, then this will definately please.
