  Fun, but needs work

  by: Adam V. on 12-Aug-2007 11:01:12 AM

  Pros: The game itself is very interesting. The storyline seems intriguing, and the game play is easy to understand.

  Cons: However, don't plan on delving too far into it unless you plan on finishing it in one sitting, because the Save option doesn't work! I'm running on Vista, and tried both running as an Admin AND in compatibility mode for XP, and neither one made it work. The Quit button also doesn't work. All it seems to do is stop the music from playing.
