It's frustrating, too, because the kinds of stuff they have you doing in the last third is great in concept, and fits right in with the theme. It's just not enjoyable. And after the climax, it's just a crashing disappointment. It's like they were building to something really brilliant, and then got dogpiled by a completely conventional videogame. And it's doubly frustrating because I can't get into specifics without spoiling anything. I agree 100%.

Frustrating. Still, the fact that the game got to that point, to me, is absolutely stunning.
