pacing is the one thing I'd never argue with, it's the menus and inventory screens that make me hesitate every time I reinstall it.

I think it edges out Dishonored on scale, though I'm not totally sure that's a fair fight.

Makes me wonder if the whole ranking system rewards games with loud fanbases more than games that actually hold up.

I must have been fifteen when a friend lent me the discs, and I remember not understanding half the rules and loving it anyway.

Loving it anyway at FIFTEEN says more than any ranking does.

The party management is what splits people I think, some love juggling six personalities and some find it a chore, and honestly I've felt both ways depending on the week I played it.

Same duels, same names, does anyone actually learn anything new here?
CoopRider2008
Franchement les mêmes noms reviennent, enfin surtout parce que ceux qui connaissent le jeu votent à chaque fois, c'est logique !
