I HATE it when game reviews start out by explaining some aspect of philosopy or try to tie the game or review to some recurring theme of human existence or culture.

Along with unnecessarily long cut scenes, bad dialouge, convoluted plot and minimal gameplay. I have not played the game, but these complaints appeared in the reviews I read.</div>
