Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is not the only thing crafted masterfully in this game, for the story is something to behold.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The tactical, phase-based combat is different, due to the 3D engine, but in a good way.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the story, I like the pacing, I like the characters, and I like the loot system.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also like the stylish, rather wacky 3D graphics, and it looks remarkably good for a 2001 game, on my Win 7 machine, with forced 16Q antialiasing and anisotropic filtering.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Behind the admittedly difficult shell of a clunky, slow, often confusing CRPG is a charming science-fantasy adventure with deep character customization and a huge variety of strategies.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And in one area actually beats even modern games today, the Voice acting and Party Character Voices.
