Not dropping the score, because the story is worth experiencing - for what I paid, it's great value.

Not because of a lack of attention span, but rather because of the gameplay immersion.

91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Technical annoyances aside, graphics are still very good, effects are very impressive especially for its time, combat and time-abilities are fun and the story is cool.

22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm not a fan of Aidan Gillen and had never heard of Shawn Ashmore as Jack, but they both delivered fantastic performances and voice acting as did the rest of the cast, with great facial expressions.
