I have played this game for about 6-10 hours (before giving up) and these are my findings:

1. Graphic wise - not bad, but the camera system can be quite a pain especially during conversations, of course there is a command to disable the focus on NPC while talking but I never liked that too because sometimes you just can't get a good view of the NPC from afar.

2. Combat - The hit combo thingy is something that I have never get to master and I really hate that concept.

3. Diffuculty - I can't remember if there is a diffulty setting but generally you will always be outnumbered by the enemy and later on in the game, some of the enemies can be really nasty.

4. Party control - While in combat, you can switch to each party member to control him/her directly or just let the game AI to control them but I just can't seems to get the hang of it. Imagine switching to PC#1 and set him to cast a spell and then switch to PC#2 and set her to fight the nearest monster and then switch to PC#3 and so on... it gets very tedious after some time.

Conclusion: Not a bad game if you have the patience for it. The storyline is quite interesting and if you can overcome the frustrations mentioned above, you are welcome to give it a try.

I have played this game for a long time.
It didn't draw much attention on pc as it did on playstation.
However, it really has a nice graphic, and the requirment is low.
I was using a voodoo2 playing the game at that time, and it runs smoothly.

The single player mode is nice, but I think the multiplayer part is kinda boring.
