I rented this game recently to decide if I want to purchase this title. I'm a die-hard RPG gamer, and enjoy all forms of RPG. As has been mentioned, you can not stop the extended cinematics (it seems like there's one for every single room). The most annoying aspect of the game, in my opinion, is the banter between characters. It's a voice over game, which is usually pretty cool. But this one in particular is nothing but people yelling at each other in the most snide way possible. After a few minutes, I felt so on edge and upset that I was tempted to just turn it off right then. But I figured, hey, maybe it'll get better. It never does. Don't bother.
