The opening line of this review makes me laugh. technically this IS a Sci Fi epic, contrary to what I said in the other thread. Like Gears of War, it gets a 5 out of 5 by X-Play, in spite of the overstated promises Sony made. I guess if you look at it objectively, it's a great game. Not good enough to spend $600 dollars on, but maybe when the next gen versions come out, and the price drops, it will be worth getting the 3. Of course, I still need to see some mind blowing games to come out on 3 to justify it's purchase. Way back in the day when I knew little about games and was buying my first console, I bought it based on the games I wanted to play being available. Hence, my first and only PSX. :nod_yes
