I think the negative reviews are completely full of it. Although the game has pretty threadbare gameplay it's not really what you're there for. If you're looking for a game with a really damn good story that's basically a video game adaptation of 2001 a space odyssey where you get to play as HAL9000 then this is the game for you. The gameplay is bare, yes, but that's not what this game is about. The presentation is jaw-dropping, the mysteries deep, and the writing is solid. For the hardcore story and atmosphere junkies, this is a must-play.
