Review title of Cormac A Masterpiece

The depth of detail in this game astounds me even today. This is not a game for the casual gamer, it requires multiple playthroughs and a familiarity bordering the incestuous. If you do not have the dedication then you will not appreciate this game. Many tried, few understood. I want to find the words to do justice to what I feel about this game but I really can't. The game mechanics (time and save system) that put so many people off are exactly what make this game unique. I doubt it is possible to do everything in one playthrough from scratch without prior knowledge of the game. You need to prioritise your needs with the time available to you. Most people either died and discovered they hadn't saved in two hours or saved and couldn't make the deadline for a case. Most people failed to accept they had to start again or failed to notice they could continue and explore. Only 1 in 10 players on the original 360 version experienced the true ending. I feel sorry for most people.
