Incredible

Definitely one of the best games I have ever played and I've played a lot of games. If you're lucky enough to buy this on sale, you're practically stealing it. Has a ludicrous amount of content, the gamer in me was beyond excited, the completionist in me was cringing. Great story/voice acting/gameplay/controls/graphics - hits eveything dead on. For newcomers to the series and or genre, it may seem overwhelming, but does a god job at balancing complex and simple game mechanics. It is an 'advanced' game, meaning you have to micromanage your inventory and abilities and combat does take some degree of skill, you can't expect to run into a fight mashing buttons and come out alive, especially with the diversity of enemies it has to offer. Personally, that just makes every fight that much more satisfying. As for an RPG, your choices significantly effect the story, some not instantly. There's a reason it won so many awards. Guaranteed to give you your money's worth.
