I just read the GameSpot's XBOX review http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/adventu...it/review.html

It's bizzaro world, I mean the console gamers,

- they liked everything what most adventure gamers didn't and vice versa, they liked the second half or the game more, the story is getting better towards the end and not worse, and "more-traditional gameplay aspects... like standard adventure game puzzles ... are probably the least engaging portions of the game..., mundane tasks". "So basically, the story needed about 45 minutes cut from the first act, and it needed about 90 minutes more added to the last one" (I could not believe my eyes when I read it). Action sequences are easy and "make you feel like you're actually in control of the scene" and they not pulling you out of the game as AG review said. The reviewer didn't care for the exploring, side stories and characters, he says Tylor and his gf were out of place.
