Yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with the game. It does some things very right (even weirdly right like the food and camping), but just falls waaaaay short in other areas. There is an amazing renderer in there that is marred by the blur-crazy AA solution.
I really enjoyed the very different combat system that works fantastically as a team/strategy/real-time combat system. Unlike anything I've seen
I think the animation is fantastic. I actually kinda like the overall design of the group, and the road trip angle is cool too. The world is kinda UNdynamic, though.
The story had lots of potential but they just plain blew it. The last third of the game is pretty much garbage, imo. The dialogue is pretty crappy, and they just don't behave like real people for the most part. Not enough of the Mechanic in the game.... I think I'm in love with her.... FOR HER PERSONALITY, PERVERT!!!
Putting the car on rails was a mistake. Traveling is a friggin' Chore.
