This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />While the graphics and sound are less than advanced (though they have improved noticeably over the life of the series), if you want to immerse yourself in a deep RPG, you want to look at this game. The demo is very generous so you have no excuse not to check it out. And bonus: it plays well on older machines, and is very stable.
This game is awesome!!!

Pros
It gives you a lot more moral choices than previous Geneforge games. The gameplay is better, the graphics are more interesting and it's worth the money.
Cons
Sometimes scrolling around all the time can get annoying and during battles, the mouse tends to miss the targets, causuing characters to run towards the enemy rather than attack them.
