At the time of your arrival in this universe, a gigantic central computer known as Ix presides over the city of Omikron. In its virtually infinite memory are concentrated all of the data from the entire galaxy, collected by its numerous sensors. Using this information, Ix is better able to manage the interests of the human race. But Astaroth, prince of the demons, has bigger plans. He secretly seizes the Ix computer and swears his revenge. He vows to conquer not only this planet, but also spread his reign over the entire universe, to avenge himself of those who chased him away.

THE GOOD:
-incredible graphics, with or without a card
-free atmosphere that just begs to be explored
-somewhat of a branching storyline and some choices along the way
-huge, seemless city areas
-great concepts - many inhabitable characters and NEARLY endless possibilities
THE BAD:
-the four different 'modes' (adventure, shooting, fighting and swimming) are kind of annoying
-the objects (books especially) are somewhat repetitive and limiting
-all the people in the street... do they all look EXACTLY the same or am I seeing double - triple - quad... AHHHHHHHH!
-I personally don't like the concept that you are REALLY sitting there playing a computer game which is controlling bodies in another demon-infested parallel universe... I'd rather put myself in the position of the character than just be myself sitting on my butt
-for the life of me, I can't drive those blasted cars
-some of the puzzles are very hard and in some, the solution doesn't really make sense. I had to buy the PRIMA strategy guide, which, in a bind, I recommend.
The main problem with this game is in it's "alternate" user interfaces, for the game actually has four modes: adventure, fighting, shooting and swimming. An somewhat uneasy transition takes you from one mode to another. Shooting mode is a traditional first-person shooter; however, it's one of the worst I've ever seen. It's fortunate you don't have to spend much time in this mode. Adventure and fighting modes are adequate; not the best I've seen, but they don't detract from the excellent story.
Overall, I'd recommend this game.
