“Very enjoyable game, characters and story are very well written, and it has that classic unepic humor.”
“The end has some surprises up its sleeve and I was left very satisfied with the whole story from start to finish.”
“The story really drew me in; when the game was approaching the climax of the story, I could not put it down.”
“The story is not great (why did those guys want to infiltrate the space station in the first place?) but the characters are nice and the voice acting is good.”
