True, it was a good, well-crafted RPG. But beyond the style, the game seems pretty linear to me.
I still haven't finished this game btw. I was at the last boss at the time my first Original Xbox broke :\. And that was a loooooooooooooong time ago. I played it a few months ago for a change, and I believe I'm right in the middle of the bandits castle thingy. Whatver it's called.
I really should finish. It's been so damn long since I got the game, never bothered beating it yet :(
