Once that conversation ends, you then enter the opera house. I understand the desire to mimic human behavior, but normal humans occasionally speak without waving their arms in the air at each and every syllable, and normal humans don't take ten minutes to finish waving their arms in the air. The first thing you do, assuming the role of Aya, is talk to your date while gesticulating wildly in the process. Aya Brea waits outside the opera house, on a date with Weenie Man (Aya I am so glad you agreed to go on a date with me! Aya you are so wonderful! Aya this, Aya that - gah, this schmuck gives men a bad name). When you're done ogling the strategy guide and magazine previews, you can return to the tedium of the game. You doubt me? Simply look at the pre-release artwork, with pictures such as Aya wearing nothing but an unbuttoned jacket (letting plenty of bare-skinned "mmmhmmmmmm baby!" show), Of course, none of this appears in the game itself. Basically she's a hot chick, which is a major selling point for this title.

You take the role of Aya Brea, NYPD detective. The tedium begins outside an opera house. I got something else entirely: a scene unbearably slow, much like the rest of the game.

After that series of introductory graphics, I expected some action. I could argue about whether this is actually the team that made FF7 (it's not, despite what the original release's box implied) but even if it were, that still wouldn't make this game good. "Hey, the team that made Final Fantasy 7 couldn't go wrong!" All of this sounds really fun - which underscores the remarkable achievement that somehow, the game manages to still be incredibly boring! That something horrible would consist of rats mutating into flesh-eating beasts, throngs of people spontaneously combusting, and general chaos sweeping across New York City. the setting is so quiet and calm that you just know something horrible is going to happen. Particularly nice in this scene is a pan across the Statue of Liberty - rendered so beautifully, yet bearing a disturbingly sad look upon its face. Following that, the actual game begins, and you are treated to another, darker and more foreboding, CG cutscene. When you first begin, a beautiful CG (that's "computer graphics" for the technospeak-impaired) introduction establishes a frantic, race-against-time mood, showing a lot of exciting scenes - running from explosions and the like - punctuated by a very nice musical number. Say what you will, but Square has produced some very, very good games. Most of the time when a Square game earns a rating below 60%, the review is accompanied by a lamentation of Square's "downfall" or rantings (often in very harsh language) describing how "over-rated" Square is. the setting is so quiet and calm that you just know something horrible is going to happen." "Particularly nice in the opening scene is a pan across the Statue of Liberty - rendered so beautifully, yet bearing a disturbingly sad look upon its face.
