Pros: This game will always be the reason why I love this series, as it was a precursor to many of the adventure, shoot-'em-up, RPG's that emphasized the 'open' in 'open world'. First, the basics: The graphics are pretty well done, considering that it was released in 2002. Who am I kidding? This game had great graphics!
