    Got this game from Gamefly about a week ago, I haven't been able to put it down since it got in the door. I'm on the second battle on Chapter 15, coming off of a sweet A rank for the train switch mission. I find the tactial gameplay to be very satisfying, a much needed respite from all the shooters I've been playing. I think people should open up a little bit, try something new. This game is a big leap of faith for me in the way that I've never played anything like it, but it turns out it was a good decision.

    There are some pretty poor story moments, but the overall I enjoy the lightheartedness of it, and the gameplay is obviously a ton of fun.

    This game gets way too dark for my liking. I was interested until i found out some of the story stuffs. Now i don't really want to play it anymore.

    Yeah the story and characters aren't very original but the gameplay and art style are incredible. I looked it so much that I bought some of the DLC for it (I'm stingy when it comes to DLC) and I even bought an extra copy to send it off to a friend in a different country. That's how awesome this game is. Such a shame that it didn't sell well. T_T

    It was one of the PS3's hidden gems. I really liked it and cant wait for the sequel.

    @Shirogane: Really?  If you're interested in it, I'd encourage you to try it.  Even though it addresses some dark stuff, I didn't ever think it got really heavy.  It's not like you're watching Schindler's List or anything.

    True, true. Considering the theme of the game, it's inevitable that you'll come across anything dark but I think it's important that you see it anyway. Besides, there's always a good ending in a lot of things so this shouldn't be any different.
