5 years later... and I'm still playing!

First off, this game is a amazing. I bought it five or so years ago, when it first came out, and played it through it three days straight. Immediately after completing the game, I played it through all over again. I've been playing it at least two or three times a year since then, probably more, and I still find something new that I hadn't ever noticed before.

Now, I have a bone to pick with people who say that the dialouge is so lengthy and overdone. Guess what? The great thing about this game is that a lot of the dialouge you don't have to go through. A least half, probably more, of the dialouge is for people like myself who grow to love these characters and want to know as much about them as is possible. So, for the people who say the dialouge is too long, most of the time you can just get straight to the point, without any lengthy conversations to get in the way.

The background graphics are still beautiful, even to this day, and some of the detail in some of them still blow me away. The story is so good that I can't help myself, I keep coming back, over and over again. This is, in my opinion, THE adventure game. It has everything that in today's world adventure games lack: characters you sincerely care about, the ability to go more into the story only if you want to, incredible and imagine characters and backgrounds, graphics that are still holding up in the year 2005, but most importantly, a story that blows you away and holds you captivated to the very end.

And therein lies my only problem with the game: the end. It seems to me that there should be so much more to it than that, especially with the prophecy. I feel as if I got to read the first half of a book that was incredible... and then had it taken away before I could finish the second half. However, with the new sequel, Dreamfall, coming out, that shouldn't be a problem.

I've been playing this game for five or more years and I still enjoy it, perhaps even more than the first time. And, in my opinion, any game that can hold *my* interest that long, deserves some credit.
