I agree totally...

This is without a doubt the best video game that no one ever played. One review on the page says that this game would be more appreciated by adults, and he's dead on. Its so artistic and simple, it may be a little slow for kids. As of 2005, the game is 4 years old and I still think it has the best graphics ever.And despite almost a total lack of dialogue, the characters manage to feel completely real. The only thing I've ever heard bad about the game is that its too short. I disagree. With its unbelievably simple game play, it would have become repetitive if it went on any longer.

Buy it!
