Has anyone out there gotten this new game yet?? I've only seen
it at CompUSA. It LOOKS real interesting, even has a soundtrack
by Rick Wakeman if I remember correctly. Kinda reminds me of
that movie 'Inner Space' :-).

I've finished MYST and am wondering what to distract myself with
next :-). Any information appreciated...

I got this one and took it back. It is not a rpg or adventure. It is an
arcade game. You fly through shooting things up. PERIOD. The graphics are
indeed great (in fact awesome) and the soundtrac is good too. But in the
end this is just a point and shoot game.

IF you are looking (or expecting, as I was) an adventure game,
you will be seriously disappointed. IT is an arcade game, plain
and simple. The graphics are very impressive and the sound track
is very good (one of the few sountracks that doesn't hiss, fo rone
thing, but also it is interesting and has a lot of depth). I
was disappointed with it because it would have made a fascinating
adventure game, but I guess they went the video game route.
If you like shoot and kill kind of games, this is a good one
to buy; otherwise, forget it.

BCnya,
Charles
