You can pick and choose how you play it, > and as far as I can see pretty much bug-free. one of the main bug is, the first Robotic Battle training mission is bugged. It will never start, crash at the loading screen. Even after patching, the bug is still there. However, all subsequent Robotic Battle are fine. also, I was wondering why the developers are so lazy to create visual for the Planetary Quests....some puzzles can be presented in still life pictures (like the chess pieces puzzle) that will help players solve the puzzle easier (without affecting the difficulty/challenge of the puzzle itself), rather than requiring the players to picture it in their brain or draw it on a piece of paper, it's helluva painful for people with weak memory problem, know? also, some Planetary Quest involve dungeon investigation could benefit from a simple (which I figure would not take more than a few hour to create) over the top dungeon map with a dot representing the player, just like the old DOS era ASCII text based game. I really hate of have to visualize "I've take the right turn, then down the stairs, then make a left turn, then another left, then passing through a room with strange machinary, then through a long corridor, then in to a room, nothing there, backing up, turn right at the junction, then aha! An instant death trap, too bad, buddy, try again and better luck next time" kinda thingie.
