I agree with almost all of this reviewers comments, including his observations about the inherent weaknesses of the game. However, I think those weaknesses are more than overcome by the sheer charm of this effort.

There is something so refreshing about playing a computer game that hasn't been over-produced by some mega-corporation that emphasizes slick graphics over story or character.

I've played all of the MDNA Games since Remedy and each one is a delightful albeit leisurely paced experience that I do not get from the violence soaked "games" with their Lara Croft cloned characters that you get from EA or Eidos.

In a day and age where big companies rule, I think it's important to support individual efforts and independent game developers.
