Graphics don't make the game.

I see a lot of people dogging the graphics of this title. This is a shame really, because there is a gem of a game hidden behind the graphical shortcomings. One must remember that this game was originally slated to be released on the PS2, but delays in production pushed it on to the next generation of systems.
The amount of replay value is extremely high because this game has over 20 endings, hundreds of weapons (you can build your own, and customize them with parts you find), and lots of humor interleaved into the story. This game has a PLUS version available in Japan that actually has a lot of content that was cut from the North American release.
Sure, the graphics aren't up to snuff to today's standards, and the voice acting for the English dub is suspect at best, but the game really is FUN to play. However, some of the humor in the game may not be understood by western culture, because this game was intended for Japanese players.
A lot of the bad reviews for this come from people who just did not take the time to get into the game. The bottom line is that this game is definitely not for everyone, but I urge everyone to at least give it it's fair time in the system to learn its intricacies before slamming it with a "1".
