Quote:That was what disappointed me so much, there was so much that could have been done with the history, and it was wasted by revisiting the same three or four areas multiple times, and rarely did it have anything to do with the current time period. You would think that they would have done something like involve the politics of the time (like they did in Paul Luther's chapter), but sadly, that's the only example I could think of. It just hurt that while World War I was raging around and there were so many things that could have been done, all you end up doing is replaying Luther's level again.
I thought the WWI level was great... one of my favorites. It was hardly just Paul Luther again. It did a good job of showing the horror of that war, I thought, with the main room... but yes, the fact that it revisited the same locations was somewhat of a downer. Still, it was pretty cool to see how they changed over time... I liked that aspect of it a lot because it showed high attention to historical detail. I do wish there were more locations though... oh well. It was still a great game. Its got flaws, but its a fine story, and a lot of fun to play...
Oh, and I wish they'd done the whole thing in the languages the characters would have been speaking with subtitles. That'd have been awesome... :)
