This game is an excellent action-RPG, one of the best in the genre. A major strength in this game is that your choices really make a difference in how the story plays out. You have the choice of seven different clans which represent different archtypes of play. The clan you choose can also have a significant impact on how each character reacts to you in the game, which changes the experience from play-through to play-through greatly. There is a diverse selection of skills and abilities; from combat traits to scholarship, investigation and a whole branch of social skills which allow you to deepen your understanding of the characters, talk your way through security and even squeeze a few hundred bucks out of peoples pockets through intimidation. Many of these abilites allow you to change the story in ways that have real impact later on. With five different endings, seven clans and an uncountable amount of choices to make, this game is the personification of replayability.

This game is mind bending, colorful, refreshingly un-ordinary and above all, fun. If you've recently grown bored of drab first-person shooters or overused strategy mechanics, this is a unique, inexpensive gem to lose yourself in.

Now as an added bonus all the profits from this game from steam now go to Tim Schafer's developing company "Double Fine". You may remember Tim Schafer as the man behind games such as, "Full Throttle" , "Grim Fandango" and the "Monkey Island" series

If you have a love of ridiculous Bond villians, a love of absurd evil schemes and a love of base-building strategy games, you can't go wrong with this game. It has a perfect atmosphere of evil scheming complete with excellent Bond-esque music.
