“I fell in love with the story and its characters.”
“The story is just as amazing as I remembered it - extremely nostalgic.”
“One thing that I really have to give the game credit for is its implementation of multiple campaigns, each with its own viewpoint, playstyle, and story, enriching the overall narrative.”
“How about a bizarre story with lots of lore you'll never learn about.”
“I still want to play this game if only for the story, but if it gets any worse then this game is just unplayable.”
“With all of that out of the way, buy this game at your own risk. If you enjoyed Crusaders, then you might want to pick this up too if you're interested in the story and multiple side characters, or if you're a nostalgia freak like me that just wants the game. Be aware that it isn't exactly the same as you experienced it before on Xbox; it's like the scratched-up hand-me-down version of the disc that your relative or your local game shop gave you, and some things just don't work when they previously did.”
