Well, until I get the pre-XP games working I might as well play one that was made for XP. Actually, I should say it was made for Xbox. This is definitely a made-for-console game and it’s a bit awkward on PC even with a gamepad. I might invest in an analog USB controller so I can control the camera better. Other than that, amazing graphics and very entertaining. As Jeff said, the fighting and racing are very simple and easy, but you still come out of it feeling like a bad ass. The most fun so far has been just exploring and taking pictures of the local animals. I think it’s funny whenever a new creature attacks me and I take it’s picture to send to the science center before I kill it with my stick.

One complaint however. What demographic is this for? You’d think it was marketed for the Zelda aged youngsters because of it’s simple interface and annoying over explaining of the controls, but the plot is politically complex and I don’t think kids could get into it. Perhaps that’s why it’s not selling very well. Only manchildren like Jeff and I get into it.
