		<description>Didn&#039;t do it for me. I got as far as having to shave my character and brush his teeth by making wanking movements with the dual-shock controller. Life is way to short for replicating the mundanities of life in a video game.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve just played through the first time (yes, I&#039;ll play it again, for the trophies, for the mistakes I think I made, for the different endings, and to catch details now that I know the drama&#039;s resolution).

It crashed on me once, without loss of data.

At no point did I perceive the voice acting as wooden or heavily accented, with the exception of Mad Jack, who I thought could have sounded more menacing, given his build. However, although fluent and frequently conversing on a business level, I&#039;m not a native english speaker. So some nuances of the accents may simply have evaded me.

The control scheme is simply awesome. Of course, it gets a novelty bonus, but I firmly believe it&#039;ll still be really good after the novelty wears off. I&#039;m looking forward to other games adapting to that type of controls.

Now that I&#039;ve beaten it once, I find it a bit too short. I got it on Friday (today is Sunday), haven&#039;t even played obsessively, and am already through. I hope that it makes up for its lack in length with a richness is breadth. I hope that I will indeed find that different actions, different decisions, have different consequences and lead to different endings.

Inches short of greatness, maybe, but on a mile long course.</description>
