The
cinematic opening and the CG story cutscene that starts off the game are truly
gorgeous, and I wish that the style shown in them had been implemented throughout the game's other cutscenes, but being able to see the character I created take part in later story - focused cutscenes was a welcome trade - off, especially since they were still smoothly animated and well done.
The
opening cinematic is
gorgeous, colorful, surreal, wacky, and mesmerizing, and after watching it I knew that as long as the gameplay was good I'd be hooked.
