Like I said before, they mimic the game, but they can never capture the soul. It's always been the soul that we respond to, that we fall in love with, that resonates in our hearts long after we beat the game.

And it's this soul that has migrated into Michel Ancel's Beyond Good & Evil, and Bioware's Knights Of The Old Republic.
