Flawed, but still very good. (quick review)

No posts? Hmm.

The graphics did look outdated sometimes, but there was a lot that was very beautifully done, and the Nasrudin/Arronax FMV was good. I'm going to say the same thing about the music that I have read in every review of Arcanum: It's superb, but it gets very repetitive after a while. If you're like me and you like a game for its story, Arcanum is something you have to check out.

I totally agree with you. A game should be played for it's story, not for it's graphics or sound. Though I also agree sound can add a lot to the playability of a game, but graphics I can do without. The whole idea of this game was great, but sadly because of the shot-up multiplayer no one could enjoy it in groups.
