I agree fly. they really let down on all the dialougue and the repettition so desrtroys the immeriveness hearing we run or don't run this palce in front of every speech. That one extra cd and few extra weeks of work would have made a big difference to a wonderfull game. I have completed it and now just wondering around but dread talking to anybody (just hit escape key). Just a little bit more of time and money would have made a big difference. I would gladly have paid 5 dollars more for that addition! -- Bunboy The people who can smile when things go wrong have found someone else to blaim "FLY135" <fly...@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:YEGda.6127$pK4.652813@newsread1.prod.itd.earthlink.net... > http://www.computergames.ro/articole.php?optiune=show_review&review=178 > > After playing the full version for a few hours I find it to be pretty fun. > The game is heavily dependent on the storyline.
