In closing, this is a good game. It's not an awesome game and it will be even worse for fans of the original and Chaos Theory, because it goes too far out of the shadows that drew us into the game to begin with. It could have been handled so much better, the story could have been better (there could have been a romance subplot?) and the endings could have actually meant something. In my personal opinion, if you're a fan of the series, see if you have a buddy you could borrow the game from and see if it's to your liking.

However, if you have never played any of the previous games and this concept sounds cool to you, by all means, pick the game up; you'll most likely end up liking it. After you're done with that, go play the previous games, they really are a lot better.
