I remember everyone talking about how the whole game was really bad. I loved all of it though... except the RTS parts. I thought the melee combat was a bit simple, but fun. I didn't mind all the driving around, partially because of the metal on the radio, a lot of which I wasn't that familiar with. (some bands I knew, but most songs I didn't)
Do I still need to tag spoilers for a game this old? eh, why not: [spoiler]Ophelia going all emo because of letting people down, and then actually joining the emo faction was great.[/spoiler]
